What Tim Kaine Says About Obama

Virginia governor Tim Kaine, now on the short shortlist of Obama veeps, said he was the first official outside of Illinois to support Obama. He's quite the fiery speaker himself. Obama campaigned for him when Kaine was running for governor.

 "He was a person who stood for excellence," Kaine said. "I'm casting my lot with Barack and we're going to take this all the way."
Here's a bonus -- Kaine can speak fluent Spanish and play harmonica (see video below). Here are some of his assets by a blogger in Virginia who called this a while ago.
