Kaine Spins Webb
July 08, 2008 11:36 AM
As our colleague Matt Jaffe reported on RADAR yesterday, in a statement, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine spun the Jim Webb announcement by the junior Democratic senator that he won’t be a vice presidential contender as "good news for Virginia that he will continue to represent the Commonwealth in the U.S. Senate." It’s especially good news for Governor Kaine too. That’s because, now that former Governor Mark Warner has also taken himself out of the Veepstakes in favor of a Senate run, if the Obama’s campaign thinks Virginia is a potential help on the electoral map, Kaine would be the guy to deliver for them. The young governor is popular in a state that could help make Obama make crucial inroads in the South.
For a comprehensive handicapping of the vice presidential selection process and how Kaine and Webb and Lieberman and Clinton and Bayh and Biden all fit into the complex calculus, click here.

Obama should be way up in the polls. He didn't even get that bump after defeating Hillary.That should tell you something.

Every one is saying no to Obama's VP slot because they know it is dangerous to tie their political fortunes to a politician like Obama who lost all credibility within 3 weeks.

Finally,
This country is waking up to the fact that he is a fraud. Too little too late, although Hillary could still win at the convention.

Obama hasn't even started yet.
He's just going to get more popular as Americans learn the truth about him.
And George W McCain's just going to get...older.
