Full-time governor

REGARDLESS OF WHO wins the November election for governor, all Virginians are winners because we will have a full-time governor again. Gov. Tim Kaine denies that any of his Democratic National Committee travel is at state expense. I wonder if the DNC reimburses the state for his time away from office.

Part time Kaine is just as good as full time

When the governor was working full time for the state of Virginia he didn't get anything done. Now that he is working part time for the state of Virginia he doesn't get anything done. His job performance is exactly the same. What's the belly ache with Kaine being a part time governor. He obviously has had no job degradation with the increased responsibilities.

reimburse the state?

Gilmore accepted the RNC chairmanship before he left office as the Guv. How much did the RNC reimburse Virginia?

Tell us Keith..

How much did they? Or did they at all? You DO know the answer, do you not?

how much?

If you knew the answer, you would say it.

For once...

you're actually right, Keith. IF I knew, Id say it. It doesn't appear to have ever been an issue with Gilmore. It appears that the lack of any questioning about his actions suggests that he was more open, honest, and forthright about his travels and RNC business!

Right? Hmmm?
