10. I don't think so. The debates will reveal how extreme Pence is--anti-gay and anti-choice...

Now, Kaine is also personally anti-choice, but he offers a more reasoned approach: He supports a woman's right to choose. Pence does not. Kaine supports marriage equality. Pence has been the most extreme Republican on the issue. Kaine was governor during the economic collapse but he brought Virginia back to health. Moderates and Independents will like that Kaine presided over a state with a large military and that jobs started to come back during his watch. The schools in Virginia are doing quite well, too. I'm not familiar with Pence's record as governor, but FactCheck has his number: http://www.factcheck.org/2016/07/pence-on-employment-record/
