Tim Kaine, Hillary's VP Pic

I have wondered why Hillary picked such an unknown, weird pick for her running-mate. Just what did she think he would bring to the ticket? The only thing I can think of is that she believed he would deliver the state of Virginia.

This is of course a vanity post, but I still can't figure out why she picked him. I thought it was weird at the time.

Her one big shot at the big time, and she picked Tim Kaine?

Anyone she picked would have been unacceptable to us, but there were better picks for her strategically. Sherrod Brown comes to mind.

Hillary has trouble with her balance, so she thought she needed a Kaine.

And somebody shook up the ants! Long time no see :)

Mixture ruling from Slopes means it’s accurate.

Spot on. Similar reason Obama picked Biden, to make sure no one ever outshined him. To make him look brilliant in comparison.

She probably was told that she needed to win the tossup state of Virginia. Out of curiosity who do you think she should have picked? After all there really are not that many in the party to pick.

Yeah, he was a real dolt. He looked like a villain in a kid’s Batman movie/tv show.

[prophetic]

As the master manipulator she is, she needed a totally LOONEY BIN to be her VP and the next looniest one BIDEN was unavailable. Biden has had enough of politics as Obama stooge and "token white-boy" to get the white votes for him, but he survived with 40+ yrs in public life doing absolutely nothing to show the public - except that he was good at getting re-elected.

For the record Biden did actually say "I Have the best job in the world! They pay me to do absolutely NOTHING!"

Contrary to the myth, Hillary is neither politically astute nor particularly bright. It’s one thing to be a compulsive liar. But sans the drooling sycophancy of the press she would have been recognized as an articulate moron (a classification that should be included on census forms) decades ago.

One of many bad decisions.

as soon as I find a “Fingers R Us” store..

Your'll find that store right next to the Unobtainium Depot. (A very BIG wink, wink.) ;-)

wink, wink = One big a$$ lie.

Virginia electoral votes. He is also a former Gov.

Actually, Timmy was already one of the top 3 running mates considered by 0bozo in 2008.

At the time some FReepers were mocking the possible bumper stickers: "Obama-Kaine" (sounds like a drug or pain med) and "Obama-Bayh" (see you later, loser).

The muslim vote and muslim money.

Kaine was tied in with the Islamist MBro leadership of certain notorious mosques. http://thefederalistpapers.org/us/tim-kaines-long-deep-relationship-with-radical-islam

And he’s not as “pretty” as Illary.

The fix was in ... it was to be an announcement if hitlery could secure only one vote per every three. Hitlery was/is garbage. Garbage begets garbage. I’m simply grateful Americans are taking the garbage out and have taken some of the garbage out. It’s a great time to be alive!!!

I figure it was because Kaine looked slightly insane, which probably fit right in with her mind set.

“Kaine looked slightly insane,”

“Slightly” insane? You are a master of understatement.

It was his flexing eyebrow.
