Democrat activist are less than enthused by Tim Kaine’s chairmanship of the DNC.  To quote:

“I don’t think Obama could have picked a more boring, less exciting person than Tim Kaine,” Marcos Moulitsas, founder of Daily Kos, an influential liberal blog, said in an interview last week. “But we have the White House. We have the Senate. We have the House. So no one really cares much about Kaine.”

You can’t help but sense just the teeniest bit of arrogance oozing from some Democrats.  From the Washington Post:

Unlike some past GOP candidates in Virginia, McDonnell starts the campaign with a unified Republican base.

McDonnell, who will run on a ticket with Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R), can spend the next 10 months reaching out to suburban voters in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. (He grew up in Fairfax County and has spent his adult life in Virginia Beach.) McDonnell also plans to reach out to African American voters.

Although they are conservative, McDonnell and Bolling say they have learned from GOP losses. In other words, don’t expect them to be talking about such divisive issues as abortion on the campaign trail. At a dinner with Washington Post reporters last week, Bolling stressed that he sponsored Virginia’s child health insurance program when he was in the state Senate in the late 1990s.
