Tim Kaine for Veep?

[george_maniakes]

Yes its early and the race aint over and a lot of people hate these kind of threads and i just heard about this guy, but from what ive been reading and seeing he seems like the real deal, an authentic nice guy with a good head on his shoulders. Any thoughts?

1. Good guy, but might be an issue for "international/foreign policy experience". nt

2. I figure he can just bring in a sec of state whos got all that. For Veep....

i think the person should accentuate the strengths of Obama while bringing something new, kinda like clinton/gore.

3. agreed

I think people are overplaying the foreign policy cred needed for the VP position, especially when considering that the economy will remain the #1 issue in the fall.

[AlinPA]

4. I don't, but you know who- the media and R's will make it a big deal.

6. I think they will anyways though even if obama had a super duper foriegn policy expert as Veep...

because they can always say its the president who has the final word.

5. End your pain

with Obama/Kaine!

7. It does sound like an ointment doesnt it?

It reminds me of nupercainal, an anti-hemorrhoidal cream we have up here in Canada.

[MonkeyFunk]

8. yes

that's the unfortunate aspect of it. OF course, Obama/Napolitano sounds like a pasta dish, so whatcha gonna do?

[george_maniakes]

9. Then again, i have a feeling the first thing that pops into peoples heads on hearing obama / caine..

would be wrestling.

[MonkeyFunk]

10. How so?

I think I'm missing a reference. I haven't followed wrestling since Haystacks Calhoun and Chief Jay Strongbow were popular.

11. google Kane. He was in a horror flick not too long ago.

big meanie. opposite of kaine.

12. Is Kaine DLC? n/t

13. I think Mark Warner is the Golden Goose, if he can run for both the Senate and VP slot

then Kane can appoint his replacement Senator. (that is of course if Va gov are allowed to appoint Senators, I'm not sure what that states rules are.)
