I have to admit that I disagree with the estimable Mike Long about the governor of the commonwealth of Virginia in which we both live. Tim Kaine has a record of accomplishment in his brief term as Governor that Senator Obama cannot equal. Consider just a few of them:
He introduced a bill “thatclarifies existing law to require that motorists give emergency vehicles stopped on the side of the road a full lane of clearance as they pass, when the lane space is available.”
He saw to it that “Virginians entitled to vote absentee under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act may now receive absentee ballots electronically.”
He demanded that colleges and universities be “required to develop, adopt, and keep current a written crisis and emergency management plan.”
You can examine Senator Obama’s entire adult career and you won’t find anything like these actions of Governor Kaine’s - all three of which have taken place since 2006. To put his remarkable record in perspective, a child born on the day Tim Kaine took office would still not be old enough for nursery school! And speaking of nursery school, I haven’t even mentioned that Kaine “won a $22 million expansion of Pre-K education for at-risk four-year-olds.”
What a partnership Barack and Tim would make. A dreamer - and a doer.
