WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign sent out an early-to-rise, but weirdly blank and eva-sive-looking schedule for his time in Washington on Tuesday.
That, in turn, led to speculation that the Illinois Democrat was about to name his running mate, and that his choice would be Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine.

This seems a little weird....I don't know why.

4. Check out the YouTube clips of Kaine ... it totally changed my mind about him

He has energy, optimism, and he speaks Spanish fluently,
and, most importantly, word is he and Obama get along
great. I want Barack running with someone he's com-
fortable with, someone who can be his partner, not just
an empty suit who may bring in a state but who's not
easy to work with. The last thing he needs is a lot
of drama in the West Wing ... We've got BIG problems
to solve in the next four years.
