...first ad that Kaine bought in his quest for the statehouse in Richmond was on a Christian radio station in rural Virginia. His first television spot of the fall told about his experience with Catholic missionaries, when he took a one-year leave from Harvard Law School to service as principal of a vocational school teaching carpentry and welding to teenagers in Honduras. Red, white and blue "Catholics for Kaine" bumper stickers proliferated in the Old Dominion. David Eichenbaum, Kaine's media strategist, tells TIME that he sees a recipe for national Democrats in Kaine's victory in Virginia...
...President George W. Bush, who carried Virginia by 9 points in 2004 and 8 in 2000, is dropping into the Commonwealth on Monday night on his way home from South America to headline a turn-out-the-vote rally for Kilgore at a Richmond hangar. Kilgore caused a stir last month when he did not join Bush for a "War on Terror" appearance in Norfolk, a military community that along with Richmond is the biggest swing area in this race.

Kaine, a lawyer and former Richmond Mayor, has tied himself to his running mate from 2001, Gov. Mark Warner, a Democrat whose approval rating in the state is about 70 to 75 percent. Bush's is in the low- to mid-40s. So Kaine's communications director, Mo Elleithee, can slyly say that the Democrats welcome Bush to Virginia...
...Disney’s “Fantasia), the orchestra was finally given center stage to demonstrate its strong skills, independent of individual performers. The full orchestra ably captured the dramatic and frenzied mood of the piece. Of special note were the moving opening solo by bassoonist David L. Richmond ’06 and the resounding performance by the brass section, which effectively redeemed the section after their slightly pinched sound in their opening performance of Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait.” Despite some sparse flaws, however, the orchestra deserved its standing ovations...
