 News from The Roanoke Times-Kaine hits roads
Kaine said the public demand for sweeping change was evident in each of the 11 town hall-style meetings on transportation that he held throughout the state between his November election and his Saturday inauguration.
Kaine held back key details of the new approach he plans to take, offering no specifics on how he will address the state's long-term transportation funding needs and whether he will consider new taxes as part of his plan.
Kaine did detail other pieces of his transportation agenda, including a demand that tax revenue now earmarked for transportation be protected from transfers by lawmakers.

 Mr. Kaine's Victory
Kaine, by running a relatively positive campaign, also managed to convey his integrity, decency and intelligence -- as well as his faith as an observant Catholic -- while fending off fierce, and at times cynical, attacks by his chief opponent, former attorney general Jerry W. Kilgore.
Kaine's signal failing was to finesse the most serious challenge facing the state over the next four years: transportation.
Kaine's triumph proves that a strong, smart candidate can win in Virginia regardless of party affiliation and that hot-button attacks and crass wedge-issue politics are not enough to defeat him.

Kaine named three allies to oversee the transition: lawyers Larry Roberts and Glenn Croshaw and retiring Richmond Del. Viola Baskerville, an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic lieutenant governor's nomination.
Kaine had little to say about the national implications of his victory, which political pros attribute, in part, to his open references to his Catholic faith.
Kaine is planning to hit the road in about a week for an opening road of town hall-type meetings to spotlight the state's transportation maladies.

 News from The Roanoke Times-Kaine wants oil companies to freeze prices
Democratic candidate for governor Tim Kaine on Thursday called on all public officials - state, federal and local - to put pressure on the oil companies to freeze their prices, at least until the current hurricane-induced crisis fades.
Kaine held a news conference in front of the gasoline pumps at the Lancermart on west Virginia Avenue in Vinton as curious customers filled their tanks.
Kaine said the oil companies make huge profits - $26 billion in net income last year, he said - and they certainly have enough cash to give them a cushion so they can hold prices for a while.

 No Death Penalty For Hitler? GOP Ad Goes Too Far - Factcheck.org
Kaine, who opposes both the death penalty and abortion on religious grounds, gave an equivocal answer to a newspaper interviewer who asked if Hitler, Stalin or Idi Amin "deserved" the death penalty. Kaine said that "they may deserve the death penalty" for their "heinous" acts.
Kaine has a long history of opposition to the death penalty – and also abortion – on grounds that his Roman Catholic faith teaches that human life is sacred. That's not a popular position in Virginia, which has executed more prisoners than any other state save Texas.
Kaine's answer was equivocal – he stressed the word "deserve," saying dictators like Hitler "may" warrant the death penalty, while also saying that God should be the one to take away a life and that the death penalty isn't needed to keep citizens safe.

 "Test of Faith" by Mark Murray
Kaine, however, has attracted criticism for being a flip-flopper, because while he opposes the death penalty and abortion as a matter of faith, he states he'll uphold Virginia's laws permitting them.
Kaine's position is the same one Mario Cuomo promoted two decades ago on abortion, when it was greeted with howls of derision from conservative Catholics.
So every time Kaine answers a question about his professional background or his position on Virginia's flood preparedness, it is a sign that he has neutralized the religion issue that trips up so many of his partisan colleagues.

Kaine, a Democrat, also asked the Republican-run General Assembly to preserve major funding provisions in former Gov. Mark R. Warner's final budget, particularly outlays for expanding research and development at state colleges and universities, $232 million for Chesapeake Bay cleanup and an unprecedented allocation of nearly $500 million for mental health.
Kaine said local governments need the leeway to slow suburban sprawl where streets and highways are inadequate to handle it, a proposal that alarms Virginia's muscular real estate and development lobby but which Kaine said "is not anti-development."
On another top priority, education, Kaine said he will propose to "begin moving teacher salaries closer to the national average." That fell short of the assurance of a 9 percent pay raise over two years that would boost pay for Virginia teachers to the national average of nearly $47,000 annually.

Kaine’s office has indicated he will sign the bill, an act the governor views as procedural, after the state Senate approved the measure 28-11 on Jan. 25.
Marble added that Kaine is "well outside the mainstream of the Democratic Party in support of this amendment." However, on most other issues he is representative of the party and an appropriate choice to deliver the Democratic response to Bush’s State of the Union, Marble said.
