BIG DEAL.....5 of the last 7 Governors of Virginia have been Democrats...
and it still goes GOP every presidential election.

He add nothing to this party or this election for Obama.

Nothing for National Security which I GUARANTEE will be an issue for the VP.

I still don't see him as being the "BIG" VP choice that will give us the election.

Keep looking......

1. People don't vote for the VP, that's the point
Back in the old days of the political machine a VP could "deliver" a region or a state but that's no longer the case. Picking for national security experience is admitting a weakness. McSenile's foreign policy "experience" can be demystified if Obama's camp plays their cards right.

If Obama picks Kaine it will be because they work well together, plain and simple.

2. He can help. Virginia is not the same. Northern VA is full of
educated voters. Smart young people up there. The single issue voters no longer run the state.

Stop listening to MSM and the Repukes. We don't need them telling us what we have to have in a VP

4. Just last Sunday on MTP Obama said he wants "someone who will ..
....tell me Im wrong" as his VP choice.

Kaine is so similar to Obama in both schooling and his general beliefs (not to mention they are close friends) I dont think he would would know when Obama was wrong on many subjects.

It seemed to me that when Obama told Brokaw that he meant he needed someone with a strong will and more political experience than he has himself.

Kaine doesnt meet either criteria.

5. Are you for Sebellius?
Just out of curiousity...had to ask with your username. I think she's my first choice, though I am really torn about it.
