Sent to me by a friend who got it from a person who knows the Kaine Family. I'm taking out the other name - and it is only a big thing in that it really is a BIG THING when you think back at how haltingly sexism has gotten better and since this happened a good while ago, it shows Tim Kaine was a feminist in action even then.This person reports:
Tim's wife, Anne Holton, used to attend our Meeting years ago. Tim's familiarity with Quakers includes friendships with folks in our meeting. Once Tim and Anne had kids, they decided to worship as a family - so Anne started attending the Catholic church with Tim and the kids.
When our kids were little, we were in a neighborhood babysitting coop with the name removed - Kaine family - Tim was one of the babysitters for our kids! In some families, only the moms babysat. Tim took his turn as a sitter, even while serving as Richmond's mayor. I think that shows real family values.
He truly is a wonderful person, highly respected and well loved in this community. Lots of excitement here!

(6,868 posts)3. I think once people find out about Tim Kaine, they will love him.
They will learn that he has fought for things that progressives and liberals believe in for several decades.
Any cries of "he's not progressive enough" will evaporate.
