Kaine isn't running a good campaign, but that's blunted by the fact Stewart is a horrible candidate to run statewide.
Kaine should still win by at least 16-20 points...but I would be shocked if one of he or Warner vacate the Senate and return to being Governor in 2021 (Virginia's Constitution allows for former Governors to run, if one term has passed from their prior service, if I am correct).
Yeah, I think the point here is that Kaine doesn't need to run an extraordinary campaign because people are turned off by Stewart just being Stewart. Kaine doesn't need to harp on it.
