Spirited rallies, visiting speakers and heated debates have brought the excitement of Virginia's guber natorial election to Grounds in recent weeks. With results rolling in tonight, University students shared their own predictions for the next occupier of the governor's seat.
"I think that Tim Kaine will probably win because he's riding the coattails of Mark Warner and the success he had in his term for governor."
-- First-year College student Charles Lee
"I have not been watching the election too much, but it seems like it's going to come down to the wire in which every vote will matter."
-- Fourth-year College student Leland Jones
"I hope Kaine would win, but realistically it seems like Virginia is going to always be a conservative state. So I think it's a definite possibility that [Jerry] Kilgore will win tomorrow."
-- Third-year Architecture student Martha Coello
"I think the polls had [Kaine] ahead, at least over the weekend. ... I just hope he wins for the sake of Virginia."
-- Fourth-year College student Kirsten Stoddard, a California resident
"Having all those indictments [in the president's administration] is not going to help his cause -- Kilgore's."
-- Third-year College student Dan Shumaker
