Gov. Timothy M. Kaine this morning refused to discuss growing reports that Barack Obama may on the verge of asking him to run for vice president this fall.
“I don’t talk about my conversations with the campaign,” Kaine said during a interview on his monthly appearance on WTOP radio in Washington.
Kaine repeatedly declined to promise he would serve out his term as governor, which expires in January 2010. He also would not say whether he has forwarded personal materials, such as his tax returns, to the Obama campaign for vetting.
The governor was asked whether it is essential for Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, to choose a vice president who served in the military and is experienced in international affairs – two items missing from Kaine’s resume.
“The Obama campaign has been very, very good and they’ve made a lot of good choices,” Kaine said. “I’m not going to presume to tell them what to do.”
