Speaking now: Senate candidate from Virginia Tim Kaine. Kaine was the former governor of Virginia and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee
by Dana Davidsen, CNN 9/4/2012 10:56:11 PM
Kaine is in the midst of a heated battle for the U.S. Senate with Republican George Allen to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Jim Webb. In August, the two candidates were statistically tied in the polls: Kaine with 48% and Allen with 46% in a Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll. This race, among several others nationwide, will determine which party gains control come November and is expected to be one of the most expensive congressional races this year.
