4. He's fake on so many levels

Born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota! Came to Virginia to attend Georgetown University, graduated and then attended law school in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Settled in Virginia after law school, he and his family live in Bel Air, a historic colonial-era plantation house!

And he likes to talk about "his" Southern heritage!!!

So, yes big fake...but he's white, he loves the Confederacy, and that's all that matters to Virginia's Republicans!!!

Poppy was a connecticut carpet bagger talking about his love of pork rinds. Suddenly he's a TX oil man.

Works on the brain dead nazi rabble, every time.

6. However, I'm worried that there will be attempts to split the Democratic base

as we have seen with more and more frequency. Kaine is associated with Hillary, and as such will be an attractive target for misinformation - as we saw in the General Election right here on DU - for those who want to disrupt the election.

Virginia voters did go Blue for Governor, and have had two Dem Senators, but none have faced a candidate as ready to go low as this guy. He is unapologetically hateful in the way that many in the rural areas find appealing in Trump, and they are energized.

Edited to fix autocorrect's substitution of "Maine" for "Kaine" in my subject line.
