2. Done! Tim Kaine.

Seriously.

Loyal? Tim Kaine endorsed Obama in February 2007.

Win in November? Tim Kaine helps in both VA (where he is governor) and MO (where he grew up).

Behind the scenes guy? Tim Kaine has been an excellent surrogate for Obama. Always on message. Never grandstanding.

Certain segments? Tim Kaine speaks Spanish and is also Catholic. He can also work the "good ol' boy" angle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smvxB4RvOxQ

A friend? He and Obama have been friends for years, since they realized their mothers were from the same town. Obama has been quoted as saying he and Tim were "separated at birth" (jokingly, of course).
