Kaine's calling
Gov. Tim Kaine wil have to prove in coming weeks that his decision to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee will not intrude on the crucial job of steering Virginia through a budget crisis. Republican House Majority Leader Morgan Griffith says, "I will start complaining if the governor is going to be AWOL." Griffith won't be the only one. But Kaine is offering every assurance that a good final year as governor of the commonwealth will be his top priority. Virginia Republicans need to take care that they, too, keep the state's well-being ahead of the partisan temptation to thwart a high-profile Democrat in a gubernatorial election year.

Who cares if he is AWOL? It's the best deal that Kaine was going to get in Virginia.

Who cares what Morgan Griffith thinks? Everyone would be better off if he was AWOL.

How about if all of Salem were to go AWOL? Then the voters there wouldn't have the opportunity to keep inflicting Moron Griffith on the rest of the Commonwealth.

I hope it is a full time job.
