A rising Democrat could challenge the president on the domestic front  view story

The contrast could not have been greater:
On center stage, second-term President George W. Bush, basking Tuesday night in the bright lights in the cavernous chamber of the House and the cheers of Republicans as he delivered his annual speech on the State of the Union.
And an hour later, some 100 miles down Interstate 95 in Richmond, freshman Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, speaking without audience or pageantry as he stood before a fire in the state's cozy Executive Mansion to present the Democratic Party's alternative take on the nation's state.
Unsurprisingly, their messages were sharply different, as each sought to sell the agenda that would bolster his party's position in the political battles to come.
