Please please please, Senator Obama, pick Tim Kaine for your vice president! A governor not known outside of his own state (it’s Virginia, where I live) with no significant achievements to speak of and the charisma of paste. He and Obama combined have been outside the country in their adult lives about 27 minutes. He’ll help a little in Virginia but not much–somehow political folks imagine that he is the second coming of Mark Warner (whom they assume you know and swoon for–betcha don’t, on either count; you probably don’t even know who he is). Please, Senator Obama, pick this Mr. Anti-Excitement.
