Clinton picks Kaine for veep

[Maxwell]

As I said in the other thread, this is a terrible pick and I don't know how I'm going to vote this November now.

Really? I mean, I'm sort of apathetic about him, but there's no denying he's about as progressive a politician that has come out of the state of Virginia (a few scattering congressmen and one Lieutenant Governor aside).

Kaine is the only southerner on either ticket (or at least the only person representing a southern state)

One could make the argument  that Indiana is far more southern than Virginia is today.

well Indiana has always been a strange place.

Good choice.

She badly needed someone like Kaine to drag her over the finish line.

With the help of Kaine, Sanders, Biden and Obama she might be able to do so, in a race that she should actually win by 10%.

So it has nothing to do with her? Jesus you're blinkered.

No it doesn't. Hillary's blown a 10 point lead in a matter of 4 months.

Gaps like that close when the opponent wins their respective nomination.
