2. Wow..and Allen hasn't

had any "macaca" moments this this election seaon, has he?

3. Good news but surprising.

Living in Maryland, I see a lot of VA campaign ads on DC TV channels. There are tons of anti-Kaine ads, both from Macaca (Allen) and Crossroads GPS (Karl Rove Super PAC). But the only anti-Allen ad I've seen is one by an environmental group that made an issue of Allen being an oil lobbyist but didn't even mention Kaine.

Just think how far ahead Kaine would be if he bought a few ads!

5. What does it say about the Republicans . . .

That they are running someone like George 'Macacca' Allen again?

They should be ashamed to do so, but of course they are not.

6. Kaine needs to resurrect Macaca and Allen's long history of blatant racism

the noose in the office, etc

this stuff speaks to the bigot's character and is still entirely relevant and worth revisiting.

8. Agree, I've been waiting to see if Macaca comes up in that race, and so far, I haven't heard a word

[TroyD]

9. Would bringing up that scandal from 2006 be effective though?

Or would it be considered old news and out of line?

I'm not sure Kaine wants to 'go there'.

He probably figures a lot of people already know about it.

[MiniMe]

10. Wouldn't think Kaine would do it, but one of the SuperPacs should

[TroyD]

11. Kaine brought on board Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) today

He is going to act as a surrogate over the next month and a half for Kaine. He has good approval ratings in Virginia.

[TroyD]

7. Might be good for Bill Clinton to make a stop

Bill probably has a busy schedule, but maybe he could spend a day with Kaine?
