If Kaine is the rat candidate, he beats Allen. Kaine has got a huge machine behind him.
You mean the huge machine that kept the Governor's Mansion in Virginia in 2009...oh...
Or the huge machine that kept the Dem majority on the Virginai congressional delegation in 2010...oh...
Or the huge machine that kept Nancy Pelosi in the speaker's chair?
Republicans are pratically begging for Kaine to be the nominee. He tried for four years to get a transportation tax increase, shut down the rest areas to prove it was needed. And when an audit was done it was found that he was sitting on billions of dollars at VDOT.
Kaine was successful in NONE of his legislative initiatives. He's been a failure at DNC.
The GOP won't have to hire someone to DO opposition research but to catalogue it all.
