Think about it. Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine is 57, Middle aged, working class, speak fluent Spanish, comes from a crucial swing state of Virginia; can be president one Day One; he was mayor of Richmond; Lt. Governor; Governor; DNC chair; on Obama veepwatch in Jul/Aug 2008. Kaine may be the best choice for Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic nominee. Thoughts?

(115,858 posts)about about whom I'm similarly unenthusiastic. I would hope she could come up with someone who's less of a corporatist than she is.

(755 posts)Kaine has no baggage. He's safe. Another good choice would be Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. Hes tje safest choice. Safe, solid, competent.
