So the day after the Democrat Party elders announce that Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine would provide the party’s response to President Bush’s State of the Union Address, Kaine confirms their wisdom by announcing that he was raising taxes on his citizens.
And this was his first major policy announcement since being sworn in as governor.
Now Democrats are looking for a way to dump Kaine, or at least water down his appearance. There is talk on Capitol Hill of placing him with at least one other Democrat of national stature. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who had a hand in picking Kaine, has is said by some sources to have offered his own services.
“The Kaine pick is now an embarrassment that we didn’t need and could have avoided,” says Democratic National Committee staffer. “We wanted to find some everyday citizens to respond directly to the President. But they went for the slick politician, and look where it got them?”
