Thought experiment

If Hurricane Katrina hadn't hit New Orleans in 2005, would Jerry Kilgore have won?
Things started to go downhill for President Bush in the fall of 2005 - Katrina, Harriet Miers and Iraq. Those kind of things have a down-ticket impact.
Was it enough to make Tim Kaine governor? Think and discuss.
The narratives of this election would look a lot different if Kilgore had won. Can Deeds use Mark Warner's coattails to float while President Obama struggles in the polls?
