Holy Crap, Tim Kaine Just Killed It In His First Speech With Clinton

[snarkbite]

OP note: My first time posting to ONTD-P -- mods, please let me know of any fixes/tags/whatever that are needed. :) He spoke Spanish to the cheering crowds and delivered a healthy dose of humility in a diseased election year. In other words, Tim Kaine just took America by storm

Fantastic blog post about Kaine's history and record---his civil rights background, his anti-gun record, his anti-tobacco background (which takes epic balls in freaking Virginia), and yes the fact that he is personally pro-life but actually *gasp* keeps his own personal beliefs to himself and keeps his religion out of his politics.

I will also add that when he was mayor of Richmond he enrolled his kids in public schools and that his wife Anne Holton is pretty badass too---a child advocate and secretary of education.

Her father was Governor of Virginia in the seventies during the height of white flight when the courts forcibly desegregated the schools, her family led by example and she and her siblings attended predominantly black schools (if you are not aware of the whole mess that was Virginia during the seventies think Remember the Titans only without all the warm and fuzzy parts)

My right wing family members hate her because she has fat ankles and doesn't know her place so I like her!

That's a real neat story about his wife's family!
