Too much conflict and not enough: Is Kwame Brown deliberately seeking confrontation with Mayor Gray, opposing parts of the Mayor's supplemental budget just to get headlines? (Georgetown Dish) ... Are Tim Kaine and George Allen being too cautious when many Virginia voters are undecided? (NBC Washington) (Comment)
Kaine's biggest regret: Outgoing Virginia Governor Tim Kaine most regrets that he couldn't get transportation funded by the state legislature vociferously opposed to any taxes of any kind. I'm a little torn on whether this was good or bad, because Kaine and Homer mostly wanted to crisscross the state with freeways while maybe putting in a little bus rapid transit here and there.

Where's O'Malley?
The AP reports that Virginia Governor Tom Tim Kaine, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, and Maryland former Governor Parris Glendening have all endorsed Transportation for America's agenda.
Hm, I could have sworn there was an actual current governor somewhere in a state in between Virginia and Pennsylvania. And I don't mean Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner, though I'd like to see her endorse it too.
