Democrats only want to work in a bi-partisan way when they don't have the votes.
I don't recall many of them voting for Alito, for example.

Maybe national Democrats can take a lesson away from things like this.
When you're the majority party, you can reject executive nominees.
When you're in the minority, you don't have the power to unilaterally reject any nominee.

Looks like the 'era of good feelings' is over in Richmond.

Trying to put a union thug in this position is way over the top.

“If he doesn’t keep one promise, how can you expect him to keep a promise to protect the right-to-work law?” Griffith said.That says it all.

LOL!
I don't follow politics in that state, but this sounds like a really obnoxious nomination.
What is the party make-up of the Senate?

Governor Kaine is a whack job. He cannot be trusted to keep Virginia safe either.

LeBlanc, was defeated on a party-line 55-42 vote with Republicans saying the former president of the state AFL-CIO could not be trusted to protect Virginia’s right-to-work law which bars compulsory union membership. Gee, I wonder why anyone would think that...

Dim Paine is being reminded that Virginia is a red state.

Governor Kaine is a whack job. He cannot be trusted to keep Virginia safe either. Yeah, I've been sayin' it ever since he won, but this state's gonna have one of the biggest hangovers of its life here shortly from a political perspective.
But hey, that's what happens when your candidate has a moron for a campaign manager and decides to run on one issue, the death penalty. Kilgore could have won this easily had he just had some people with brains in his camp.

The GOP VA legislature is tough. Or can be.

If Kaine had said he was going to re-run the transportation tax fiasco, Kilgore would have won.
As it is Kaine is now complaining that the House doesn't want to re-run that particular tax fiasco.
I am reminded of the black knight in Monte Python and the Search for the Holy Grail ~
It is definitely hangover time!
I think the House can initiate action to impeach this nut case.

It was a horrible campaign, one of the worst I've ever witnessed.
