Not the type of face you want out there after the SOTU.
Kaine has a great message, but this is forced and very stale. Definately not what Kaine does best. This is what happens when someone else writes your speech that doesn't have a clue about the speaker.

balanced budget, we are not in debt, plus we are fiscally responsible.(thanks to Mark Warner one-term Governor like he promised). Tim Kaine was the Lt. Governor under Warner (who is going to run in 08).
Mostly VA government is a mixed bunch of Dems and Republicans working together to get something done.
Mostly though, we get along.

His neo-con rival tried to pull all the usual republican dirty tricks and the GOP got national help to try to get their base stirred up. It didn't work against Kaine. He just good-guyed his way to a victory.
We aren't evil like the Republicans and we can't out-mean the meanest guys in town.

| 42. He's better on what he knows better; and a crappy teleprompter |
 |
His intro was terrible, more confidence on education.
His visual cues -- the look down, the eyebrow thing -- not very good, they were scripted, and SEEMED that way.
The teleprompter, IMO, is causing some jerkiness.
Not very emphatic where he needs to be, like on "there's a better way."
I like what he says, just not how he says it. I still have hope for the guy, though -- give him a few more years, and this Kaine (sp?) guy may be a force to reckon with.

I think he did fine.
People not sold on the Dems but unhappy with Bush sometimes think that the Dems just attack Bush. Kaine's response was trying to make the sale to them, I think.

Our response should elicit a response from someone other than SNL. Seriously, who are they afraid they're going to piss off - Republicans? Puh-lease...

I just went into the other room to get a glimpse - terrible! The eyebrow, the fake smile, looks like a used car salesman (no offense meant to anyone in that profession).

What else can I say? He's not bad if you don't look at him. His eyebrow is driving me crazy, that along with that continuous smile and soft, sweet voice. He doesn't project a very commanding presence.

We can't or we won't win.
A lot of them are not RW'ers so why would we not try to speak to them? Please, stop taking it as an act of hostility against your views just becase a Democrat mentions it.

CBS said that.
I was highlighting the stupidity of CBS. A man makes a few religious references and all of a sudden he is a "VEEEEERY conservative Dem."
I wasn't criticizing Kaine. Don't be so sensitive.

Spoken with no emotion, and bad inflection.
This guy said little, sounded trite, and looked goofy with the rogue eyebrow.
Is there no one that the Dems could have gotten that would have been better?

Maybe you all that have such a prob with the Governor should start planning your future attacks so you can have him replaced, with a Republican.
As for me, I like his record already, and the speech was fine. A hell of a lot better than the competition.

It was a well-written speech, but the delivery left a lot to be desired. Then again, our last great president (Clinton, of course) was the absolute master at public discourse, so maybe we're just unconsciously setting te bar a bit too high.
