18. Kaine has a problem on Gay rights...
He opposes both gay marriage and civil unions, and just signed on to a bill to allow a referendum to write a ban on both into the Virginia constitution... He does support upholding contractual arrangements between couples, and has opposed some of the more odious restrictions the righties in the house of delegates have proposed.

Being a Virginia resident who voted for Kaine I am pretty disappointed in this. Hopefully we can turn him around on the issues over the next 4 years. He is basically a decent guy who I think is making a wrong decision on this particular issue.

Having said that, I have no problem with him giving the response. This is the kind of Democrat that can win in red states, and on most issues he sides with the party.
