Speaking in both English and Spanish, Governor Tim Kaine discusses the VP slot:
“I haven’t sought it, I’m not running for it, I am not asking for it”

I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820

No Kaine for VP…the repercussions would be too negative here in Virginia.
C’mon, Ian, it would be fun.
Leaving the weaker Republican candidate for 2009 isn’t a negative.
Weaker, yes. We were already behind in terms of unity, but then running as an incumbent, I think, makes even any candidate deficits.
Incumbency is nothing without name recognition.
Exactly.
Just wondering… IF, just if Gov. Kaine accepted the VP position who would succeed him as governor?
Lt Governor Bill Bolling
I suspect that LG Bolling’s name recognition is better than you all are giving him credit for – especially among Virginians who he thinks are inclined to vote for him.
Are the stories about him true? That’ there’s a lot of buyers remorse from progressives?
That depends on who you talk with, peter.
Brian – that also depends on who you talk with
If his name ID is anywhere near McDonnel’s, he doesn’t have a whole lot to brag about.
What ever happened to Jack Kemp? He was being touted for this election back around year 2000, but it’s like he has gone underground?
