I think the John Tyler connection is a little too much inside baseball for the masses.
I think it might be Kaine. They like each other. Kaine was one of the first people to endorse the big O. Why would the big O spend 2 days in Virginia if not to announce the VP? That’s a lot of time in one state right before the convention.
And an odd connection at that. Considering that 1) Tyler became President only because Harrison died in office and 2) Tyler was a leader of the Confederacy.
