U.S. Senate candidate responds to 10 questions posed by Patch readers in Northern Virginia.
A few weeks ago, we asked Patch readers in Northern Virginia to throw out some questions for George Allen and Tim Kaine, both vying for the U.S. Senate seat in Virginia. So you asked and the candidates answered. Read George Allen's responses here. Tim Kaine's answers, published below, are unedited. 1. There is considerable reporting in the popular media that Social Security and Medicare are in financial ruin and in need of a fix, but every time one person dares to speak-up and suggest constructive measures to save the system, the other candidate attacks that person for being insensitive to the needs of seniors and claims the proponent of modifications wants to dismantle the programs. How would you address these issues knowing full well …

Both a daughter and wife of Virginia governors, Holton embarked on a listening tour of Northern Virginia on Saturday in support of her husband's candidacy for the U.S Senate.
Former Virginia first lady Anne Holton is going full speed ahead campaigning for husband Tim Kaine, the former governor who hopes to get elected to the U.S. Senate come November. Most polls show a race between Democrat Kaine and probable GOP candidate George Allen as "neck and neck" as Holton herself put it Saturday. Married more than 25 years, Holton and Kaine first met when both were students at Harvard Law School. Today Anne is a wife, mother and lawyer, and a campaigner, a role she said she will increase as the election nears. She traveled to Northern Virginia Saturday from her family's home in Richmond, making stops in Leesburg, Vienna and Reston. In Vienna, Holton criss-crossed the town on a blustery spring day, visiting owners and …

Anne Holton was campaigning for her husband, former Virginia governor Tim Kaine, who is running for Jim Webb's U.S. Senate seat this year. Virginia senator Linda "Toddy" Puller (D-36th) made an appearance as well.
The former Virginia First Lady, Anne Holton, stopped by Occoquan on March 22 to tour the small businesses and ask business owners what her husband, Tim Kaine, could do for small business if he won Jim Webb's seat in the U.S. Senate this fall. Virginia senator Linda "Toddy" Puller (D-36th) took the tour as well, as Mayor Earnie Porta took the small group to Off the Beading Path, Art a La Carte, Jerry's Occoquan Jewelers, Glory Be, Labella Bridal and Consignment Boutique, Elements, Tastefully Yours, and the Garden Kitchen. After the tour, I asked Holton a couple of questions: If Tim Kaine is elected to the office of senator, how will he work to support small business in Occoquan? Tim believes small businesses are the economic engine of …

Former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine was present for a roundtable discussion Wednesday at City Square Cafe in Old Town Manassas. Kaine is a candidate for U.S. Senate.
Former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D) said building talent is one of the keys to improving many issues in the nation, including growing the economy and solving illegal immigration problems at the state and federal levels. Kaine, a candidate for U.S. Senate, made his case for focusing on talent during a roundtable discussion at City Square Cafe in Old Town Manassas Wednesday. The 53-year-old said that when he was born the Commonwealth was 38th in the nation in per capita economy. Now, depending on how it is measured, Virginia is ranked as high as number seven, Kaine said. There are many reasons for this, but talent is one of them, he said. “Nobody has jumped ahead as much as Virginia,” he said. “… I really think what moved us is … we decided …

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine said he will find common ground in the U.S. Senate, while his chief opponent, George Allen, will continue his "divisive" politics as a "bully."
Tim Kaine said the country needs to begin embracing talent again to turn around the economy, while he portrayed his chief opponent, George Allen, as a bully who will continue the divisive politics in Washington. During his campaign stop Saturday at University of Mary Washington, Kaine said the top priorities in this election are the economy, fiscal responsibility and finding a common ground with Republicans. He also championed many causes of President Obama, and told the crowd of more than 100 Democrats that if Obama can win the 13 electoral votes in Virginia, he will win a second term as president. Kaine was shoulder-to-shoulder with former Democratic Virginia senator Edd Houck, who made his first public speaking appearance since narrowly…
