Kick Allen’s ass please!
It’d be great if my state didn’t re-elect a racist.
I hope he has what it takes to win this.
DNC Chair is announced?
Also, I like this announcement, it feels like a well-produced bio campaign ad.
Has there been another state with two successive Senate contests between former governors?
My sources tell me that list has come down to five candidates: Alvin Greene, Al Sharpton, William Ayers, Michael Moore, Theresa Heinz Kerry, and Keith Olbermann.
So says Politico
is very excited for this news. I am going to work my butt off to see that Kaine and Obama are elected in Virginia in 2012. I really like Kaine’s chances here and with Virginia being a targeted state I can’t see him lacking any money. Allen is too polarizing to win in a blowout so I see a close race here. It would be nice to re-defeat George Allen again.
Hopefully he gets that creepy eyebrow thing under control!
Glad to see Kaine get in, and I think with Obama’s help he’ll win.
Warner and Kaine, together again.
As much as I like Tom Perriello and his fighting spirit, Kaine is the safer bet, and there will be other opportunities for him, whether it’s five or ten years down the line.
Now, that’s a good introductory video. I like the fact that he’s running on himself, like Sen. McCaskill, which leaves him the opportunity to secure the base but also attract those outside of it.
Any idea of when he starts campaigning?
like him or not; he is by far our best hope of keeping this seat blue(since webb said no to a second term)
But stopping George Allen is the main priority. Maybe Perriello will run for senate after Warner steps down to run for governor again
hope sharron angle’s crew never gets a clue and watches how real production is made like this one
Sharpton and Greene as one person. Or is it three-fifths of a person? Are we being strict to the Constitution today?
Too offensive?
I would have preferred Perriello, but realistically Kaine gives us the best shot at keeping this seat, so no problems here.
Hope he wins..
About a third of Virginia Dems are black, and I’m doubtful that’s enough for Scott to mount a serious bid here. Presuming he passes, I suspect it’s a barn burner through election day and Kaine probably prevails. That being said, I’d wager many Indies opt to vote-split on the presidential and senate races. I’m just not sure whether they’d be more inclined to back Obama or Kaine.
There’s no way a guy as charismatic as this can lose an election! <–sarcasm
Still, Kaine’s a good guy and a competent public servant and the most obvious A-lister who could make the race, so I hope he punts George Allen’s prop football all the way back to Palos Verdes.
was getting me excited for possibly Perriello, but this is good and makes the race a slight Dem lean where Periello would’ve been a toss-up in the beginning.
For those that don’t know, Kaine once worked as a Jesuit missionary in Honduras and is fluent in Spanish.
I would’ve preferred Perriello, but I suppose the Democrats need some top-tier talent to bump off Gov. McDonnell or Atty. Gen. Ken “Kooky” Cuccinelli in 2013.
Godspeed, Chairman Kaine.
Tim Kaine is the best candidate for the US Senate in Virginia. In fact, he is the logical choice. I like Tom Perriello a lot, but Kaine has a solid record to run on from his days as governor. George Allen is really tarnished goods. Yeah, Allen will win the countryside aided by his fake southern accent and scuffed up cowboy boots, but Kaine offers so much more which luckily doesn’t include any “Macacca Moments.” This race will be won or lost in the urban crescent stretching from NOVA, Richmond and the Tidewater. I like Kaine’s chances here.
The recruitment is going well in the democratic side.
