Quote from hilojack:
He's an idiot if he takes anyone other than Tim Caine.
Tim Kaine would be suicide for Obama. Of course, Obama isn't going to win no matter who he chooses to run with but Kaine will alienate at least 20% of Democrat voters: that's how many people feel 'very strongly' about pro-choice policies.
I have voted for one Republican in my life (G. Ford) and, although I won't vote for McCain, I will not vote at all if Kaine (Or any anti-choice candidate) is running with Obama.
Democrats have been back-pedeling on the issues of choice, fighting poverty, and stopping the military-industrial complex for so long now that it is hard to determine what we represent. Until we stop 'playing politics' and stand for what is right we will never recapture power. Better to have firm morals and lose than to simply become Republican-lite.
