This is exactly why we need a fighter AND a fundraiser for our gubernatorial nominee."What are the chances on the House side that we are going to win? I would say maybe 40 percent," Kaine said. "But that is a good enough percentage to say 'lets go after it and who knows, we might get a break or two with retirements. We might get a break or two in a primary'."That's a very different tune than the normally super-optimistic Kaine was playing a few weeks before the 2007 General Assembly elections, when he was predicting that Democrats would pick up as many as 15 House of Delegates seats (we ended up with 4).
P.S. Message to Tim Craig: it's spelled "optimistic" not "optomistic." :)
