Gov. Tim Kaine told NOT Veep Pick
by Major Garrett
CHICAGO, IL – 8:43 p.m. EDT
Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine has been told he is not Barack Obama’s running mate, a source close to the situation tells Fox.
Kaine learned the news late Friday, the source said.
Kaine was the first governor outside of Illinois to endorse Obama and was prized for his loyalty and strong personal rapport with Obama. But Kaine’s lack of experience and thin list of legislative accomplishments worked against him, Democrats familiar with Obama campaign thinking. Kaine appeared with Obama yesterday in Richmond, Va., a sign he was unlikely to be “unveiled” to the nation at Saturday’s running mate event.
Gov Kaine would of been my pick, Obama may just have let the best choice for Vice President go
OK, we know Biden is the pick. On a different but related subject the word is out Fox has refused to show the McCain ad featuring the very words of William Ayers, founder of the weather Underground and an avowed anarchist.
Can you please explain WHY, if the words in the ad are the very words Ayers is on the record to have spoken, FOX NEWS is refusing to inform the public of something they have both the right and the need to know.
If Obama chose someone like McCain (Biden a Washington insider with a wealth of foreign policy experience and a direct talker) over someone like him (Kaine new, younger, pro-change, inexperienced and a soft talker) what does that say about how he believes voters should choose when it counts!
Obama did a better job picking his VP than he did picking his Pastor and church of 20 yrs.
I just hope Biden isn’t a follower of James Cone as well.

A sad situation to be in if you’re a staunch Democrat. Somewhat like being between a rock and a hard place. It’s difficult to imagine a “worse than Carter/Mondale” ticket but the party managed to do it somehow. Most patriots would know how to counter this fluke but others are either too wealthy to care or too ignorant to know the difference.
