Kaine said he believes Byrne will be a benefit to the Democratic ticket.
“She’s a woman of proven success,” he said, referring to her 10-year record in the General Assembly and stint in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 1995. “Democrats, and I think most Virginians, don’t have anything to fear from strong women leaders.”
Mr. Kaine, repeat that phrase, “strong women leaders,” over and over again, at every venue, at every opportunity. It’ll win you more votes than you can imagine. Women love the sound of it, and as someone who is married to one, I think a lot of men will, too, Dominionists excepted.
