Virginia's U.S. Senate candidates Tim Kaine and George Allen traded jabs today at the Capital One complex in McLean.  Kaine, a Democrat and former governor and chair of the Democratic National Committee, wants the Bush-era tax cuts to expire for individuals making more than $500,000 annually and cutting subsidies to the five largest oil companies. "Each of those elements represents a compromise," Kaine later told reporters, reiterating the theme of bipartisanship that peppered nearly all of his debate comments. Allen, the Republican candidate and also a former governor, criticized Kaine and his campaign for not doing an independent analysis of the proposal to see what its impact on jobs would be — the implication being that the Kaine plan …

Defense Cuts, Washington Gridlock Focal Points of Kaine-Allen Debate

The two U.S. Senate candidates talked about sequestration and the economy in McLean Thursday.

MCLEAN — The potential $500 billion in defense cuts looming in Washington took center stage Thursday at the Capital One Conference Center during the first of three debates between U.S. Senate candidates Tim Kaine and George Allen. The cuts — $1 trillion in total under the banner of "sequestration" — could cost the Old Dominion thousands of jobs, particularly in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. Once meant as a stopgap measure, the continuing partisan divide in Washington has transformed them into a real threat. Kaine, a Democrat and former governor, presented his plan to solve the problem, which largely revolves around ending Bush-era tax cuts to individuals making more than $500,000 annually and cutting subsidies to the five largest …

Kaine, Allen Face Off in Debate Airing Live from McLean

Co-sponsor NBC4 to broadcast Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce event.

Former Govs. Tim Kaine and George Allen are competing for the favor of a relatively small percentage of Virginia voters in a U.S. Senate race that has captured the interests of the country. Kaine, a Democrat, and Allen, a Republican and former senator, will face off in a debate at noon Thursday at the Capitol One Conference Center in McLean sponsored by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce and NBC4. NBC will broadcast the debate live and stream it on its website. The pressure is on because of Virginia's status as a bona fide swing state. The Old Dominion could very well determine not only the presidency, but which party controls the Senate. The two candidates have been crisscrossing the state at a breakneck pace only to be locked in what…

I do in fact believe that Allen knew exactly what he was saying. Whether you want to call it a racial slur or an ethnic slur, it doesn’t really matter. It was a condescending insult, any way you want to look at it. And this is not an isolated incident. In addition to some of the comments that Allen has made in the past (that I cited in an above post), he also has a record of these things: -Three …   more ›
