Gov. Kaine is expected to campaign in Virginia for Obama this weekend.

(CNN)—Virginia Governor Tim Kaine – rumored to be on Barack Obama’s shortlist – will spend the day Saturday campaigning for the presumed Democratic nominee.

Kaine told CNN last week he is not eyeing a spot on the Democratic ticket, but he did vow to help the Illinois senator win Virginia and its 13 electoral votes in November.

"I'm not running for anything,” Kaine said. “But my highest and best use is trying to be a good governor and trying to help Sen. Obama in Virginia, which as you know traditionally hasn't gotten a lot of attention in presidential years."

Obama swept the state’s February 12 primary with 63.7 percent of the vote. but the latest CNN electoral map finds Virginia is still a toss up between the Illinois senator and presumed Republican nominee John McCain. The state hasn’t voted for a Democrat since President Lyndon Johnson in 1964. McCain won his party’s Virginia primary with 50 percent of the vote.
