The Boston Globe recently ran an article analyzing Senator Obama's options for his Vice President. The candidate they were the most concerned with was pro-life Democrat Virginia Governor Tim Kaine. Heralded as a man with a Harvard degree who is fluent in Spanish and a devout Catholic, Governor Kaine's attributes are praised as assets that would help balance out Obama's ticket. The most important of which are the governor's strong pro-life beliefs. Senator Obama and Governor Kaine have a standing friendship and Obama was quoted as saying that in politics you don't have too many friends, "...but the governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia is my friend."
Because of Governor Kaine's pro-life beliefs, the article argued that he is affable and electable to Republicans as well. This is critically important for balancing out Senator Obama's ticket. DFLA is excited to see the possibilities that Governor Kaine could bring to the table and urges its memebrs to read this interesting article.
