Actually, GOP.com has a clip identifying Kaine as pro-life. What Kaine says is that he won't let his personal beliefs interfere with his legal responsibilities. (Obviouly I believe in equal protection of life under the law.) I think the GOP for some reason is trying to stir the pot of radical Dem feminists.

Michael Jackson, "Smooth Criminal". Jackson's final Top 10 off "Bad". He would then take a 3-year hiatus from the Top 10 until the release of his final major album, "Dangerous". For the most part, most artists maybe charted up to 3 or 4 singles per album. During his prime, Jackson nearly doubled that, making his releases de facto greatest hit compilations. However, after a red-hot 80's, Jackson's popularity was less dominant; he would chart only 2 more #1's, including his lead single off  "Dangerous" and only 2 more Top 10's after 1995 until/after his untimely passing in 2009.
