Tim Kaine is a GREAT choice for VP!

He is PREPARED to be PRESIDENT. He is a brilliant Harvard-educated attorney and has an undergraduate degree in economics.

He has won numerous elections at every level of government. He is a good and smart campaigner. He is a good family man with strong ethics. He brings needed gender balance to the ticket. (Like it or not, that is reality folks. Welcome to America.) He helps us carry purple Virginia, and he relates well to working and middle class white men, and everyone else for that matter. He is popular in his state.
He has high level executive experience. He simply makes incredible sense in so many ways, much more so than the more "exciting" but less qualified Warren (or Castro or Booker). He also has a great relationship with the Hispanic community and speaks fluent Spanish.

GREAT PICK! GREAT!


(Sorry if purists have some issues with him, but purist thinking is always outside reality, and few purists actually win elections. And winning elections is the idea. Tim Kaine has won MANY.)

Because he has won elections in FL by greater margins and that is twice as important VA.
