Kaine...
- was a mayor
- governor (and generally well liked)
- Senateperson (also generally well liked)
- fluent in Spanish and is on good terms with Hispanic communities bc he outreaches
- can net some of the more religious vote bc of his Catholic faith
- has an A+ rating from Planned Parenthood so his faith doesn't necessarily indicate anti-abortion
- has a mostly clean closet
- has never lost a race he's run in in his whole career
- you underestimate the anti-Washington sentiment in VA; it's important to remember that the reason Dems have consistently won is because of the NoVa / Richmond area NOT the state as a whole. We still are gerrymandered and Warner almost LOST his last election to an upstart conservative which was supposed to be easy
- Kaine may not be exciting and I'll be the first to admit it but dude is also super-white bread so he is a safe choice
Simplifying it to "just a Y chromosome" is hella dismissive. To anyone.

I got mildly offended as a Virginian, damn it! Mildly though.

W/e man it's Virginia. I can find new things to get offended about. Like Blacksburg's daily pain-in-the-butt rainstorm that's been happening all July.

I think his run was just nominal opposition, and Hillary losing in 2008 derailed the political timeline he and others had imagined for him. It would have been fun to see him and Christie bickering again, though...

No to Tim Kaine, I caught a bit of one of their rallies on TV and while I'm sure he's a huge Hillary fan he is super boring.

Booker is a Gets Things Done kind of guy, which is SO refreshing, and he has so much energy and commitment and passion to serve.
My daughter would not only vote for him twice over, she'd add that it's the best way to get him on the road to Booker 2024. ;)
