Tim Kaine doing in a campaign like this?" “The boy is cleaner than the board of health,” Dave “Mudcat” Saunders, the eminently quotable Democratic political consultant told our Paul Schwartzmann. “If it’s one thing Hillary needs, it’s clean.” And Kaine's amiable style has served him well. His approval rating in polls has generally been significantly higher than his disapproval rating, and he was elected senator in 2012 by a six-point margin over Republican George Allen -- a fellow former governor and former senator who was trying to reclaim his seat. But Kaine's nice-guy demeanor has also raised questions about whether he would be able to play the traditional role of a running mate: attack dog. Heh. FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

He only beat George "Macaca" Allen by six points? </rofl> Oh and VERY impressive quoting ~~Bezos' rag~~ the Washington Post, the absolute neutral source for information about the Clinton campaign. Counterpunch has credibility the Post *used to* have.

When Alexander Cockburn was writing for them after leaving The Nation, I had a subscription and, truthfully, the only things I read on that site were articles by him and/or Ralph Nader. I don't know what its status is today, but more years than I care to contemplate back, it was a good source of true lefty essays.

They're both more qualified than Trump! - (a6l6e6x) - (2) - Oct. 4, 2016, 11:33:52 PM EDT

which one is that? -NT - (boxley) - (1) - Oct. 4, 2016, 11:35:22 PM EDT

The one that wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade. - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 4, 2016, 11:56:29 PM EDT

Pence is an incompetent - he couldn't even try to defend Trump. - (Another Scott) - (3) - Oct. 5, 2016, 12:07:41 AM EDT

Pence is playing the long game. He is taking over for Lying Ted for 2020! - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 5, 2016, 10:00:03 AM EDT

And it's already an ad. - (malraux) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 01:20:39 PM EDT

That was fast! Speedy Gonzales in Brooklyn. :) -NT - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 5, 2016, 02:20:11 PM EDT

I'm going to be ill. Kaine managed to make Pence look sensible. - (mmoffitt) - (32) - Oct. 5, 2016, 09:25:05 AM EDT

Kaine was over the top excited and on hair trigger. - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 5, 2016, 10:07:11 AM EDT

What is it that makes you ill? - (rcareaga) - (20) - Oct. 5, 2016, 10:12:14 AM EDT

That Pence, by comparison to anyone could look sane. - (mmoffitt) - (19) - Oct. 5, 2016, 11:56:58 AM EDT

Shit ha-Pence - (rcareaga) - (18) - Oct. 5, 2016, 01:02:42 PM EDT

Isn't the blog post obvious? - (mmoffitt) - Oct. 5, 2016, 01:59:15 PM EDT

And another thing, did you really need 538 to tell you who would win Indiana? - (mmoffitt) - (16) - Oct. 5, 2016, 02:20:08 PM EDT

How could Bernie win there and not Hillary - (Another Scott) - (14) - Oct. 5, 2016, 02:33:23 PM EDT

The same way Barack Obama did in 2008. The youth vote would have been *very* enthusiastic. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (13) - Oct. 5, 2016, 03:14:57 PM EDT

How is the Hispanic vote there? - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:01:35 PM EDT

I honestly don't know. They're about 6.5% or so of the population. - (mmoffitt) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:20:02 PM EDT

Yet Bernie beat Hillary by only 35k votes in the primary. Hmm... - (Another Scott) - (10) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:10:09 PM EDT

I've told you why Obama's 08 voters didn't turn out. Sheesh! - (mmoffitt) - (9) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:15:12 PM EDT

Hehe. Bayh voted to save the economy and for the PPACA. Good enough for me. ;-) -NT - (Another Scott) - (8) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:22:07 PM EDT

And Bayh's "Credit Card Reform" allowed BofA to jack my rate from 9.0% fixed to 12% floating. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (2) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:24:47 PM EDT

So, get another bank. You are still able to do that. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:33:25 PM EDT

Bayh's NOT going to fix the banks, see below. -NT - (mmoffitt) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:34:26 PM EDT

You and the Banksters want him to win. - (mmoffitt) - (4) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:33:24 PM EDT

Recycled "news" - (Another Scott) - (3) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:40:13 PM EDT

If Bayh wins and the Senate goes "D", ... - (mmoffitt) - (2) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:44:55 PM EDT

Yaya. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 04:51:30 PM EDT

At the risk of sounding even more the conspiracy theorist. - (mmoffitt) - Oct. 6, 2016, 08:12:17 AM EDT

Of course I didn't "need" 538 for that. - (rcareaga) - Oct. 5, 2016, 02:45:17 PM EDT

I don't have time to watch it again, but... - (Another Scott) - (6) - Oct. 5, 2016, 10:50:35 AM EDT

Kaine did a better job defending his candidate - (malraux) - Oct. 5, 2016, 11:26:55 AM EDT

"Nice Guy". </me falls over> - (mmoffitt) - (4) - Oct. 5, 2016, 12:08:41 PM EDT

According to almost everyone. -NT - (mmoffitt) - Oct. 5, 2016, 01:40:52 PM EDT

different objectives, perhaps? - (rcareaga) - Oct. 5, 2016, 01:50:28 PM EDT

Ah-ha! And "so's your old man!"
