As Senator Barack Obama turns to the choice of his running mate, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine has emerged as one of the campaign’s potential finalists, sources familiar with conversations in Richmond and in Chicago said.

Kaine, an early Obama supporter whose biography nicely dovetails with the Illinois senator’s, "ranks very, very high on the short list," said a source who has spoken recently to senior Obama aides about Kaine.

Kaine "is getting a critical examination," the source said.

Kaine Stirs Up Abortion Issue, While Kilgore Targets Ad Use

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Timothy M. Kaine used an Arlington appearance before about 300 women yesterday to hammer his Republican opponent on abortion, saying former attorney general Jerry W. Kilgore wants to make the procedure a crime.

I meant the Harvard Law, attorney wife, years of housing-justice kinds of ‘do-goodism’, some teaching law along the way and rising up from very local politics.

DOn’t know how popular Kaine is in VIrginia but if he’s a lock for Obama to win the state then it will force McCain to change his strategy if he could not count on the solid south to back him.

Palin is nobody at all, and no independent or blue dog female will give her the time of day, let alone their vote.

She adds zero to the electoral column, and that is where this - and every other - election will be decided.

Obama going with Kaine would be a VERY smart choice to attack Virginia.

Obama realized hes completely unqualified for the job and got a puppetmaster to tell him what to do each day.

Technically Obambi only has 143 days as junior Senator before deciding to run for President. So Yes, I believe it does. Governors are generally bigger jobs, even for small states.

But it clears where Obambi draws the line ...

This is a pure win for Virginians if it happens.

1. We get Lt. Governor Bill Bolling as governor. He’s a top notch GOP conservative (those are rare as hens teeth these days).

2. Virginia gets rid of Tim Kaine a year early.

You're assuming Obama wins. Much as I'd like to have Bolling as Governor, or dam' near anybody but Kaine, it's not worth that.

So, if Obama was to loose would we still have THE Eyebrow as governor? Wishful thinking.
