With all of his experience in the senate and as vice president, he should be kept. George Clinton was vice president under both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

He was asked a few weeks ago if he would continue on as VP and he said it's time for him to move on.

I was a bit down on Kaine and Vilsack, even a few hours ago on here but they show quite a bit of passion and are sharp as a tack. Might not be so bad if they are picked.

Free trade is an extreme position. Unfortunately it is "the norm" when it comes to economic policy these days, among democrats and republicans. Damn libertarians screwing up everything.
