Yesterday I explored former Governor, and possible Senate candidate, Tim Kaine’s big problem with tax hikes.  But those problems, many and manifest as they are, relate to his former job. In his current role as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Kaine has been a leading player in the tug-of-war in Wisconsin between the state’s labor unions and its Republican governor.  Kaine has taken labor’s side – unflinchingly. And that might not go down very well with Virginia’s voters.

A story in The Hill notes that at the annual Jefferson-Jackson get together, Kaine called Gov. Scott Walker’s attempt to rein-in the unions a “declaration of war on public workers.”   Kaine has committed resources to the fight via Organizing for America. The base is happy, ginned-up and ready to roll.
