VA Gov. backs Obama

According to the Washington Post, Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine will officially endorse Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for president. While his staff has remained tight-lipped thus far, sources have said that Kaine plans to make his endorsement official Saturday during the annual Virginia Democratic Party fundraiser.

This may not seem like a big deal at this time, with the election still two-years-away, but this is a good sign for Obama. As most know, Virginia was one of a few states that swayed the mid-term elections towards the Democrats, and has seen the Democratic Party strengthen, in this historically Republican state, in the past few years.
