...biggest factor in the closely watched Virginia Governor's race last week wasn't even on the ballot. And that's why Democrats are starting to think that outgoing Virginia Governor Mark Warner may finally have figured out what it will take for their party to start winning in the South again. All sides agreed the morning after the election that what carried Lieutenant Governor Tim Kaine to victory--in a state that hasn't voted for a Democrat for President since L.B.J.--was Warner's popularity. Part of it is style: Warner won narrowly in 2001 by courting...
...huge winner is Governor Warner, who by state law cannot seek a second consecutive term and plans to run for President. Turning to Warner Kaine said during his acceptance speech: "May I just say: I'm looking forward to standing with you at your next victory party." Kaine offered himself as Warner's heir apparent, and the two will be seen as political alchemists who can turn conservative and rural voters into Democrats. Analysts said Kilgore hurt himself with some of his own supporters with a heavily negative television ad that invoked Hitler in playing up Kaine's resistance...

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. "Do you want someone who's going to govern like Mark...
...when charging by the minute was standard. Today back-end operations must handle a variety of complex charges, often from third parties, ranging from e-mail services to games, screensavers and other data transactions. As more consumers buy Internet-ready smart phones, and media giants like MTV, Disney, Time Warner and Fox clamor to deliver content to the "third screen," revenue leakage will only get worse. The solution? Mobile carriers need to revamp their back-end systems, ensure real-time authorization of purchases and secure their electronic storefronts. Even then, teens will probably outsmart them...
