RaisingKaine spoke with Virginia State Senator Mary Margaret Whipple, Democrat of Arlington, for several minutes last night at the Jefferson Jackson Day dinner in Richmond.  Whipple hinted that Jim Dyke of Reston, former Virginia Secretary of Education under Governor L. Dougas Wilder and chairman of the Northern Virginia Business Roundtable, was mulling throwing his hat in the already crowded  ring for Lt. Governor.  Who would this help or hurt among the current crop of candidates?  Given that Dyke is an African American man from Northern Virginia,  with extensive business experience, it seems to us that he could pose a threat to Chap Peterson and Viola Baskerville more than anyone else...stay tuned!
