2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: 5 things to know about Tim Kaine, Hillary's pick for her VP [View all]Cha
(297,205 posts)83. I've learned today that Senator Tim Kaine..
is brilliant, compassionate and funny.. the opposite of pence.
I hear pence wasn't doing too well in his bid for 3rd as gov of Indiana.. whereas Kaine is popular in Virginia.
Oh and this!

Tim Kaine's mother came from same small town as Barack Obama's mother--El Dorado, Kansas.
