6. I think Kaine would be a fine choice for the second term
I am not sure he would be seen as having the chops given Obam's perceived inexperience.

It is a bit of a risk


How about this

Obama Webb. They win. Webb resigns his Senate seat. Kaine takes it on to finish out the term which ends in 2012. THen Webb quits to run for the Senate and Kaine becomes the running mate and the heir apparent to Obama's legacy.

I am looking at the political horizon and I just don't see who the Dems run in 1016 as an encore to Obama. Kaine is thebest option to fill his shoes in eight years.

I am just not sure he is the right guy for the first term.
