Kaine puts distance between self, Weiner

Yesterday, Democratic congressional candidate Tim Kaine stopped for lunch and a few comments in Charlottesville. CBS19 caught the candidate’s buzzworthy take on the controversy surrounding New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner, who admitted to posting an underwear-clad photo of himself on Twitter. (Today, reports emerged that another, slightly more revealing photo may exist.) In no uncertain terms, Kaine called for Weiner’s resignation.

Kaine also mentioned matching or leading GOP challenger George Allen in a few recent polls.
