Welcome aboard. As a fellow Virginian, I to am embarassed. We need another Allen!
It's OK....Not all Floridians are like Bob Graham, Bill Nelson, Alcee Hastings, Janet Reno, that skanky representative from Jacksonville, Sami Al Arian, Little Bobby Wexluh, Larry King, Michael Schiavo, the editorial board of the Sun-Sentinel, the residents of Del Boca Vista Phase III....
I have Boxer and Feinstein (I didn't vote for either).
Compared to my sins yours are stealing bubble gum from the local Quicky Mart.
God Bless the Old Dominion.
Nice governor's mansion you've got there.
Welcome to Free Republic. Please stick around.
The sin was so egregious you felt the need to sign up tomorrow?
Pretty cool!
You could turn out to be a pretty talented FReeper.
Any word on tomorrow's lotto numbers?
Hey, he may be a liberal democrat in virginia, but he's still better than most of the national democrats.
He gave a good speech, if you could ignore his eyebrow. And he only have a few untruths, and even they were grounded in a semblance of the truth, which is more than I can say for most democrats.
And I will note with pride that he resisted saying the word "corruption" (he said cronyism, but not corruption).
I will note also that his "better way" is that democrats in our state work WITH the republicans, rather than blocking them at every turn. If his own party would listen to him the country would be better off.
Hey, Howard Dean just sent me an e-mail. He will pretend to like Kaine's speech, but the fact is a lot of republicans will have appreciated the speech, and that has GOT to privately bother the true democrats.
I was a bit embarrassed that he couldn't speak better, and he messed up some words, and for a while he sounded like a robot, but he caught his stride and I think he closed well. He wouldn't last 10 seconds in the democrat caucus, and his "better way" is anathema to the MoveOn crowd, and frankly he proposed very little.
He is right about Virginia, we are a great state. Our acheivements belie the national democrat notion that the Bush policies are ruining our country, and that obstructionism is the only nobel act of a minority party.
OK, that's all. I wanted to defend my governor for one night, in the spirit of pride in my commonwealth. I may have my gripes with my governor, but he is MY governor, the governor of the great state of Virginia, the best state in the United States.
I feel your pain!
These demos are unbelievable, they are always trying to re-invent themselves and package the same old crap with some lame slogan. It didn’t work for al bore or john scary, but why not try it again. What was the definition of insanity again?
Welcome to FR.

Tim Kaine, a leading member of the American Castrati.
If you apologize for Kaine what should New Yorkers do?
We have Hitlery Schumer, Slaughter...ad nauseum to apologize for...and there ain't enough tears...
Ugh!
Are you the governor?
Well, don't y'all give him a brow-beating or anything!
"Virginia is for high-brow lovers."
That would explain The Eyebrow.

I gotta admit, the comments & pics in this thread are cracking me up! What a great way to end the evening!!!
At least we have a team going to the Super Bowl. GO HAWKS!!!
I think all Virginians who are "Sorry" to be represented by the likes of Tim Kaine should express their opinion of his performance to him directly on the next monthly "Ask the Governor" radio show. Of course, this show is for questions to the governor so we'll have to be creative:
Gov. Kaine, just what the heck was going on with that jumping eyebrow thingie and can you kill it with Botox?
Gov. Kaine, exactly how does your "Better Way" differ from loser John 'Filibuster' Kerry's "The Plan"?
Gov. Kaine, did you get your hair-styling tips from 'Plugs' Biden?
Gov. Kaine, what do you think your prospects are in national politics after coming across looking like a used Chevy salesman?
Just a thought ......
I'm a little disappointed I can't use my troll-kicking boots Zacs Mom just made me.
