I am fine with Tim Kaine as the Democratic candidate for Vice President.

He has a lot of experience. A governor and a senator. And he has a long time playing the political game.

He is also good balance with Clinton in several respects. He is a bit conservative, he has executive experience, he is a good if not glamorous speaker and, above all, he is male.

I know. Gender politics. But the truth is that she needs his weight on the other side and he needs her leadership. Like Joe Biden, he would probably never make it on his own beyond his present level. But he is a good guy. A schmoozer with some warmth which Hillary Clinton has never ever been accused of having. Charisma yes. Warmth, no.

The other thing I like about Kaine is the long term implications. He is a good guy to carry on after Clinton's two terms.

The NYTimes likes him too. Today's praising editorial is here.

So, I am happy.

Now let's lay into those fuckers and beat them so they know they do really really have to reform their Party.
