There goes his next election. Sure, don’t tighten the belt just steal more money.
What next election? Kaine is a lame duck. Bob McDonnell won the office at the beginning of the month. You DO recall the Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey, right?
This is political maneuvering. Democrats will try to blame budget woes on McDonnell.
Did you read the article?
Kaine, the Democrat and incumbent governor, is threatening higher taxes. Ineligible for re-election, he will leave office in January.
McDonnell, the Republican and governor-elect, is dismissing the idea. But he can't do anything about anything until January, when he takes office.
So, whose "next election" are you talking about?
