Morning Examiner: George Allen for U.S. Senate

“This is a huge difference between the two of us,” former-Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine said at last night’s U.S. Senate debate in Blacksburg, Virginia. “I do not think it is anti-Virginian to support the president of the United States.”

And Kaine is right. It is not anti-Virginian to support the president of the United States. But Kaine did far more than just “support” President Obama when he was chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Through 2009 and 2011, Kaine was not only Obama’s number one cheerleader, but he also defamed and insulted Republicans at every turn. “He called Republicans corrosive, the Donner party, the tea bag party,” his opponent, former-Virginia Gov. George Allen, said last night. “That is not bipartisanship.”
