Remind the Virginia voters who they're sending in. Neither are acceptable, but at least he's a registered Democrat.

Kaine seems like he would be good for the Senate, and CBS/NYT. There are tons of polls, I mean tons, so I'll wait until about 1-2 weeks before November 6 to start partying!

Webb was also pretty conservative. Virginia needs a liberal Senator.

(2,124 posts)but this Virginian living in Hampton Roads Virginia where there is a very high percentage of Military retirees, knows the reality of the situation-these people are so brainwashed by the idea that the Republicans are better at National Security and military issues. I've tried to reach them, but they are past the point of no return. I don't talk politics with them anymore as it is an exercise in frustration that I don't care to be involved in. In a very conservative area and state, the best we can hope for is a conservative Democrat like Kaine and Webb.

I wish Bev was running for NC Gov again. The thing is, she is pretty much a Conservadem, but she also has a spine, and also knows NC needs to stay in the 21st Century, so it will be a major loss not having her in the Governor's Mansion next term.
