ray, my take on this is that you need to go back to square one
and re-examine your semantic markup

div is not a suitable container for text

use P instead, or in addition

now re-examine exactly *what* it is that you want padding on

is it really the A?

what if an A is mid-sentence?  do you really want it to be padded?

if it's actually the text block **that the A contains** that you
want padded, then i think you really want to apply the padding to 
the P
