The promises he has made, and his pledge not to increase revenue, seem to be mutually exclusive, especially in regard to educational and transportation infrastructure. Just like Gilmore, I regret that I don't think he can do what he has promised without additional revenue. Perhaps, like Gilmore, he is counting on growth, but that looks unlikely given the lingering effects of our flirtation with irrational exuberance. Yes, an inspiring race, but can he govern?

Election Day 2009 could not have given us a more obvious message. Substance wins. The candidates who won focused on the issues and concerns to the voters and citizens, rather than running as hard ideologues (see: Deeds, Creigh and Hoffman, Doug). A truly inspiring campaign.
