President Obama has proposed allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire above $400,000 as part of negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff. U.S. Sen.-elect Tim Kaine had suggested during his campaign allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire on income above $500,000 per year, a practical compromise between the position of Senate Democrats and President Obama and the position of House Republicans.
Sen. Patty Murray, Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, released the following statement congratulating Tim Kaine on his election night victory in Virginia:
More than a year of buildup to what had seemed to be an inevitable Barack Obama re-election was washed away in 90 minutes in Denver on Oct. 3. If not for that one night of lethargy from the president, we’d never have come across the term “Ro-mentum,” likely not had to endure 90 minutes of guffaws from Joe Biden a few nights later – and few would have cared that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie decided to focus on his job instead of presidential politiics at the worst of Hurricane Sandy.
In two new ads released on Wednesday, Democratic Party Senate nominee Tim Kaine presented Virginia voters with his closing argument – sharing his economic priorities, his commitment to the Commonwealth of Virginia, his record of finding common ground in Richmond, and his committment to doing the same in Washington.
A new Virginia Senate poll conducted for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee shows Democratic nominee Tim Kaine leading Republican opponent George Allen by four points.
The latest Public Policy Polling survey of Virginia voters backs a run of recent polls that show Democrat Tim Kaine surging into the lead in what has been a tight U.S. Senate race with Republican George Allen.
Democratic Senate nominee Tim Kaine is on the air Monday with a new TV spot touting his work with former governor and current U.S. Sen. Mark Warner to move Virginia forward. Repubilcan rival George Allen is also on the air with a new spot that asks the question, Will you still have a job if Washington fails to do its job?
The Tim Kaine Senate campaign won the money race in the third quarter of 2012, taking in $4.5 million in donations to outpace the George Allen campaign, which raised $3.47 million.
