Unsure if Kaine Will Hold the Ticket to History

As Inaugural fever builds across the Commonwealth, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine's (D) staff said they are not sure yet how many tickets to the swearing-in ceremony they will get to distribute.

Kaine was one of President-elect Barack Obama's earliest supporters, so the governor will surely have some influence in getting some Virginia Democrats into the ceremony. But Charlie Kelly, Kaine's political director, said they have not yet received an allottment of tickets.

"We look to be as helpful as possible," Kelly said of requests for tickets.
