he was likely on the list. Then once you hear him speak, it becomes even more clear.
She was blessed with great options!

He's a smart, kind, money-where-his-mouth-is man. I'm not sure he'd be a great president but hopefully we won't have to worry about that until he becomes far more familiar.

And I love Warren, but she is sooo well suited to the Senate.
I think Kaine will have an area or two where he takes lead, which Warren could have also done....but there is something about her fire that just seems necessary to Senate leadership right now.

She was right. I am more and more impressed with him with each passing day. He is measured but friendly. He is kind but has a remarkable talent for delivering penetrating criticism all while showing that kindness that he is known for. He's thoughtful, compassionate and serious but also lighthearted and fun.

They are a good match, and he will be an excellent VP for her.

If Hillary is in there for 8 years, and then Michelle Obama comes in for another 8 years after her, we'll have young girls and boys that have yet to be born innocently asking, "Mommy, can a man be president?"

Is that we are about to have the first female President in US history!

I wonder if that will ever be properly celebrated?

Kaine seems like someone you'd like to hang out with.
Pence seems like a hater.

How bad would it be for young Americans if voters selected groping Trump over inspirational Clinton.

As a 40-some year old who never understood why I was not good enough because I was a girl.

Thank you, Tim Kaine.

First Barack Obama becomes the first African-American president in the country's history. If you went back to the 1800's and told somebody that some time in the future, America will have a black president, you'd probably be hung out to dry. Now in 2016, another first will occur...the first woman president to be elected. This will drive the Republicunts CRAZY. Good! Glad to see it! Maybe they need to grow up and find some leadership (not from Trumpy Dumpy) before they ever get close to the presidency again. T-minus 15 days and counting!
