From the Washington Post:
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said Monday that his main focus this year will be working with Republicans in the General Assembly on the state’s budget crisis, even as he pivots into his new additional role as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Kaine, who only a month ago said he was not interested in the job, said he changed his mind in recent weeks after a meeting with President-elect Barack Obama. Kaine described his new role as the chief cheerleader for the Democratic Party at an “all-hands-on-deck moment” to help Obama navigate an economic recovery and do “politics in a slightly different way.”
