but when it comes down down to actual election day you'll see tim kaine running a few points ahead of obama. he'll find supporters in the outer washington suburbs and richmond surgeons who remember his tenure as mayor and governor and want his style of leadership rather than george allens. at the end of the day kaine probably pulls this one out. and it will be easier for him if obama were to win the state. >> eliot: there is a difficult stand between kaine and obama. he can't really distance himself from the president but he want to embrace him that much because it's a part of the state where the president is not very popular. >> yes, that's right. he has put distance between himself and the bush tax cuts. but that's sort of a minor difference. it's not as if tim kaine can go out and say i never met this guy because of all the photos out there. this is the only way he can operate by putting a little bit the distance. voters respect that more than they would say kaine saying i'm not going to endorse him. >> eliot: an interesting contrast, in montana, you have john tester who is in a tv

when it comes to george allen, that's a dead heat against tim kaine and i think george allen thinks it's better to spend time in the commonwealth campaigning raising money and also trying to appeal to people who are not either republicans or democrats but who are independents. >> let me ask you this. perhaps in an effort to change perceptions, the rnc is rolling out a congressional nominee from utah named mia love. what can you tell us about her and the strategy here? >> yeah. she's a speaker tomorrow. she's what you would not call your ordinary sort of political ethnic affiliation. she's an african american republican from utah who stands a very goo chance of getting elected because -- good chance of getting elected because she is your republican, but that's not your traditional commonplace political candidate. they feel very sensitive about their gender gap. so you're going to see a lot of women talking about governor romney including suzanna martinez, governor of new mexico, latino who they feel shows that look, don't say that we don't have support amongst african americans or amongst

former governor tim kaine is the democrat running to represent the commonwealth. today he spoke on wamu's show. noting that northern virginia voters account for 1/3 of the electorate. >> so that means as a candidate you spend about a third of your time here. and northern virginia is a place where there's a lot of innovation going on that is driving not just northern virginia economy but driving, you know, new ideas that can help the american economies. >> kaine's republican opponent george allen is also doing a lot of campaigning in northern virginia. the most recent polls show both former governors in a dead heat. >>> a movie theater chain is on alert tonight after receiving a bomb threat. all of carmyke cinemas, 236 theaters, closed ace poli ed as search for explosives. a man left phone messages claiming bombs had been placed at several theaters. so far no explosives have been found. police have not mentioned any connection between the threat and the arrest of a 23-year-old who tried to carry a loaded pistol into a carmike cinema last night in columbus, georgia.

democratic candidate tim kaine is out with his 30-second spot a positive time as governor of virginia. we spoke with him this morning and he says he takes issue with his republican opponent george allen for running negative ads. he also says republicans aren't doing anything about the looming defense cuts that could hurt our economy. >> congress is still drawing a paycheck and they need to find a solution to avoid defense cuts. i put a solution on the table. if we let the bush tax cuts expire at year end for people making more than $500,000 a year, that will create about $500 billion in revenue over the next 10 years and we can use that to then dramatically soften any of these cuts to defense and other core priorities. >> he also says george allen wants to make the bush tax cuts permanent but that would widen the deficit and we reached out to the allen campaign. he wasn't able to appear with us this morning but we plan to have him on sometime in the future. >>> the justice department has cleared the way for virginia's new voteer id law. under the law, every registered voter will recei

that is what tim kaine stands for, and tom periello stands for. and i know -- you know, that right around this time, before football season started, some people get sick of politics. sometimes the campaign seems meaner and smaller and washington is more gridlocked. and cynics tell you, change isn't possible and you cannot close the distance between how things are and how they should be. you had all of that hope and change stuff. this aher side made strategy, telling you how bad it is and that it's all obama's fault. they hope that, even if you don't vote for them, because you know what they peddle doesn't work, that you get so discouraged you just stay home. that -- that's what they are banking on. but i don't believe that. i don't think you believe that. we knew that solving our biggest challenges would take more than one year, one term, one president. we know we have a lot of work to do but we are determined to get it done and finish the race, and that is why i'm running for a second term.
