The next administration will inherit too many problems and gridlock; hence, the need for Obama's cohabitation with an experienced Washington insider who converts into a champion of change. Obama should also consider someone who can help energize his base, the Democratic party. Kaine is an inspiring leader and provides good chemistry but has little experience in Washington.

The only Democrat I can think of that "deserves" the Presidency is Al Gore who should have been the winner in 2000. But that's in the past. People should vote for candidates based on platforms, not divisive gotcha politics. If you are not gonna vote for Obama it should be b/c you don't like his platform--not because you don't like how some corporate media conglomerate treated one of his rivals. I'm not gonna vote for McCain because I don't agree with his policy views. I don't care if he's 72 or 42, if i don't agree with the platform then I'm not gonna vote for him. I strongly urge my fellow registered voters to vote based on policy positions. Get educated! I don't care if you vote for Nader, Barr, or even Pat Robertson...as long as you are an educated voter that is voting on the issues.

I never gained any confodence during his two terms and haven't since. He was a showman who had the edge with his acting skills not what he knew of history, and foreign countries. He had a corrupt cabinet and many convicted of crimes in their government work. He is now considered by some as one of our greatest presidents. Why is there doubt that Obama cannot be a good leader? Well educated, attractive as we seem to need, and young enough to have some fresh ideas. He would be a less scripted person....I hope. His mixed background makes him even better.

Both guys won that very important state. i am sure he will pick someone more sensible than Hagel or Webb. What about Barney Frank. I've heard from my sources he is available for the job. And Barney would fit in with Obama, nicely. They could start a bowling team. Hey I thought he picked Larry Craig from Idaho. Both guys won that very important state.

I do not want him or Obama in office, but if Virginia loses Kaine as Gov., that cannot be all that bad. He is trying to do the same thing that his predecessor Warren did, raise taxes. The fix all solution always seems to be to raise taxes. They target the rich(which is pretty silly), but in the end, everyone pays, and those who are too good to work keep on thriving in the welfare system. I'm just glad my tax dollars makes a difference like that! Well, this would be good for Virginians only if Kaine has to step down as Governor during the campaign.
