  Tim Kaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaine, whose father was an iron worker and welder, grew up in the Kansas City area and graduated from Rockhurst High School, the University of Missouri and Harvard Law School, taking a year-long absence during law school to work with Catholic missionaries in Honduras.
In 2005, Kaine ran for and won the seat of Governor of Virginia in the November general election, defeating Republican former Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore by a margin of 52% to 46%; Republican State Senator Russ Potts, who ran as an independent and was considered a longshot, garnered only 2% of the vote.
Kaine's campaign made his association with highly popular outgoing Democratic Governor Mark Warner its central theme, as well as promising homeowner tax relief, centrist fiscal leadership, and a guarantee of pre-kindergarten education for any family that wants it.

Kaine is hoping to replace term-limited Democratic Governor Mark Warner, whose victory in 2001 appeared to have less to do with Democratic ideology than with a charismatic campaign in which Warner spent millions of his own personal fortune to help court rural voters.
Kaine, who spoke to me by phone after attending a pair of Palm Sunday services at Baptist churches in Petersburg, Virginia, says that his own strong Catholic faith was his inspiration for entering politics, and that he believes Democrats in general have done a poor job of reaching out to religious Americans.

 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.
Tim Kaine:  Well no, I, the way I answered your question is that they may deserve, you, they may deserve it, of course they may for doing something heinous, they don’t deserve to live in civilized society, they may deserve the death penalty.
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.

Tim Kaine leaned forward in his chair, irritation simmering beneath his gentle demeanor, hoping to settle an issue that keeps dogging him.

 "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.

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.

The state’s gay leaders are calling on Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine to make sure voters know what they’re voting on in November when they decide a constitutional amendment banning all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, including marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships.

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.
