This dude is completely opposite of Barack Obama! This guy has little experience in politics, much like Obama, and doesn’t really shore up any loose ends, which makes VP’s so valuable during a presidential race. What does this tell me?

First thing is first, Kaine is in the lead because Obama has a very strong chance of winning Virginia which hasn’t been carried by a democrat since 1964. Virginia is obviously a conservative state and a conservative-democrat governor from that state on the ticket gives Obama a really strong chance to secure those 13 electoral votes.

Second, and maybe the most serious and real reason is that the swing or independent voters who are currently up in the air about the ‘08 race will look at Kaine and see a more balanced ticket. Whereas Barack Obama is for abortions, some ignorant voter will see that Kaine isn’t and think that actually matters. Or gun control, or taxes, etc, etc, etc. This would be purely a political pick, not based on Kaine’s actual views or positions, but based on the fact that he can get Obama some votes.

Mitt Romney is currently in the lead as the VP nod for McCain because he actually brings some added meat to the ticket. Romney is obviously very strong in economics which shores up a McCain weak point. Romney doesn’t differ with McCain on virtually every issue like Kain does with Obama. Obama is once again showing how abhorrently pathetic and weak he is in politics, and is even more showing that he will do virtually anything possible to get elected. Change and hope? Sounds like the same old Washington politics to me Obama.

“A taxpayer voting for Barack Obama is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.”

Simple, yet eloquent and true.

UPDATE:

Salena made an awesomely cool button reflecting the above quote and I wanted to steal it from her…

And when some ass hole tells you that we don’t have the right to own guns, or that we should have Universal Health Care, or we should tax the rich to give to the poor, simply refer to that page and extract a quote from someone much smarter than the socialist you’re talking to and make them feel like the fool that they are.
