For Kaine, a Tour and an Economic Plan

For Kaine, a Tour and an Economic Plan:
ARLINGTON, Va. -- Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine rolled out a three-point economic plan on Wednesday and began barnstorming the state alongside Democratic Sen. Mark Warner -- the man he hopes to join in the Senate.

Kaine and Warner hopscotched the state by airplane, from Norfolk to northern Virginia to Richmond, for a series of roundtables.

"We're going to have someone else in the trenches," Warner said, pitching Kaine's election to a group of business leaders gathered at OPower, an energy firm in Arlington.

Kaine, who followed Warner into the governor's suite in Virginia, joked it was one of the first times Warner didn't call him the state's potential "junior senator." Kaine served under Warner as lieutenant governor in Richmond and two have an curious dynamic on the stump together, both deferential and desirous of the spotlight.
