Ive been searching around the blogs today and theres no clear explanation why/how Kilgore lost.

Here is an excerpt from one conservative blogger in VA:

So which is it?  Kilgore wasnt conservative enough?  The Democrats in Northern VA are starting to show their might?  The people of VA elected Warner 2.0 not Tim Kaine?  Other?

Kilgore was just a weak campaigner and debater. I don't think it's that complicated.

The fact Bolling and McDonnell won-- the latter without an NRA endorsement-- makes it clear Kilgore wasn't rejected for being a Republican. He was rejected for being Jerry Kilgore.

Frankly, he was notably weaker than Earley-- though Kaine is likewise weaker than Warner.

Internal GOP conflict in VA probably hurt Kilgore, but was not at all a deciding factor.

So you disagree that he wasnt conservative enough?  I heard a lot of rumbling throughout the campaign regarding Kilgore not responding to a conservative groups survery regarding cutting taxes.
