General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Did I hear Eddie Glaude correctly? [View all]a good man. He had been considered for VP in 2008. He had a heck of a strong background of experience in domestic policy and intelligence. However, he bombed in the debate against Pence, by == among other things -- interrupting the glass of milk some seventy times. Still, Pence had an equally weak showing.
How a man or woman performs in office is distinct from their ability to campaign. So on one hand, Kaine was a good choice in what would make a solid VP.. Tim was absolutely a highly qualified choice. Yet his experience in campaigning for either himself or Obama was regional, not national. He appeared nervous on the big stage. And he wasn't delivering wins in contested states -- though the campaign itself was responsible, not him, and they were way too over confident.
Tim and his wife are among the most honest, decent people in DC, ever.
