Did any of you in Richmond see Gov. Tim Kaine out at the mall this morning? He was hoping to see you. In his final "Ask the Governor" appearance on WTOP this week, Kaine told host Mark Seagraves that he'd gone out to start his Christmas shopping during the snowfall on Saturday, but didn't plan on finishing up until this morning. "I went out Saturday in the middle of the blizzard," he said. "I hadn't started my Christmas shopping yet and I was...

In the “Political Grapevine” segment of yesterday’s (12/22/09) Special Report, Bret Baier, the host of what Fox News presumably considers a non-opinion show, nonetheless took a gratuitous swipe at Democratic Governor Tim Kaine, and indirectly, at President Obama, during a report about Obama’s surprise call to Kaine’s radio show. With video....

"Barry," "Bob" and "Gerry" called Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine on Tuesday to compliment the outgoing governor during his final appearance on his Washington-area monthly radio call-in show. While the names are pretty common, the callers were hardly commonplace. "Well, uh, Gov. Kaine, this is actually the president of the United States," said President Obama, who initially identified himself as Barry from D.C. "I have questions about traffic in...

Departing Gov. Tim Kaine’s shoddy little trick last week adds another item to the General Assembly’s to-do list: Fix the state budget process. Kaine put together an in-your-face, tax-hiking budget knowing full well it would not meet with the approval of the General Assembly or the incoming governor, Bob McDonnell. McDonnell made it quite plain throughout his campaign that he was not going to entertain tax hikes. Yet Kaine has proposed an...

By Rosalind Helderman Gov. Tim Kaine (D) fielded calls for the last time on WTOP's "Ask the Governor" program this morning, including one with a familiar voice identified by host Mark Seagrave as "Barry from D.C." That would be President Obama, calling in to congratulate his pick for chairman of the Democratic National Committee as he concludes his four years as governor of Virginia. Another call came from Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell, during...

- Gov.-elect McDonnell weighs in on Kaine's budget.... (hrblogs.typepad.com)
Lame duck Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (D) leaves office in a few weeks, turning things over to Republican Bob McDonnell. This year's $37.8 billion budget is a slight increase from last year's $37.0 billion and up even from 2007's $35 billion budget, but Kaine argues that a tax increase is needed to keep up with proposals for spending growth.
(The Washington Post commends Kaine for "reducing budgets by $7 billion" but that seems to be a false...

When the rumors were first floated that Tim Kaine would be eliminating the state’s contribution to car tax relief, it struck me as an odd proposal to come from a Governor who had been a Mayor.
As an elected official in Richmond, Kaine regularly voiced his displeasure with state policies that disadvantaged localities.
