DNC Chair Tim Kaine said today that there’s “a huge corrosive civil war within the Republican party” that “is going to continue to be a factor that will work in our favor in 2010.”

On The Early Show, Kaine was asked how the recent Democratic retirements would affect the party in 2010.

Kaine responded that “the retirements are really on the other side. And no surprise. There’s a huge corrosive civil war within the Republican party that we see playing out all over the country, that i think is going to continue to be a factor that will work in our favor in 2010.”

He also said that the passage of health care reform “will create a real tailwind for the president and the party,” and that the Democrats may “surprise some people” in November.
