Tim Kaine is expected at a R.I. fundraiser tonight, and at a Nantucket event tomorrow.

But of course he could always cancel those events and turn up in Florida. Who knows?

Hillary sure knows how to build up anticipation.

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, considered the front-runner to be Hillary Rodham Clinton’s choice for vice president, is headed to Rhode Island on Friday, his spokeswoman confirmed.

Kaine was in Boston for a noon fundraiser. He was expected to join Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, a fellow Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, for a Reed fund-raiser in Rhode Island on Friday evening, according to Reed's spokesman, Chip Unruh.

When CNN asked him about the vice presidency at Logan Airport, Kaine said, “No news to report.”

The Boston Globe reported the Kaine is scheduled to be on Nantucket on Saturday at the Chanticleer Garden for a 5:30 pm reception.

1. I could be wrong, but I'm inclined to believe it will be a "dark horse," someone unexpected.

Maybe someone's name who was overlooked by the media but is still eminently qualified for the position.

5. I wouldn't put it past Hillary to do that. I also think that would create tremendous buzz

2. Could also be a smokescreen to throw people off the scent

11. I hope you're right but I realized why she might NOT want to pick a progressive:

If she does and she wins, people could say it was because of the progressive, and therefore imply she has to govern more progressively.

By contrast, if she picks a "centrist," to supposedly appeal to swing voters, she can act as if she owes nothing to progressives, and say she needs to govern to the "middle" because that's where her support came from, much as Obama said at the beginning of his presidency he had to be president of ALL the people, which meant start his proposals at least half conservative.

Something conservatives never do no matter how slim or even questionable their wins are.

3. I want to get excited

but that could intentionally be a ruse. I think they are enjoying the buildup and suspense.

4. Shhhhhhhh

[tallahasseedem]

6. I'm excited about the announcement...

and was hoping we could get some coverage but, of course, MSNBC is in terror porn mode and won't pivot away from Munich coverage.

8. Isn't 24 hour cable wonderful? We can hear about every shooting anywhere in the world.

And people wonder why they don't feel as safe.

[tallahasseedem]

10. We can't get our nations problems covered by MSM

but there's been three straight hours of coverage of Munich? Three hours of footage and people trying to guess what's going on. Ridiculous!

7. What's the chance it's Stavridis? With Trump going off about NATO I wonder it his stock rose

Bill Kristol think's it's between Stavridis and Kaine. Wait. If this idiot thinks that then probably opposite is true.
