I'm voting Republican and I am ecstatic at this pick...
If she had picked Sanders they win by a comfortable margin....IMHO
Thankfully she is petty and vengeful so she didn't make the correct political decision...

Sen. Kaine: The problem isn't the drones. It's the U.S. mission
WASHINGTON — The deaths of two hostages in a drone strike in Pakistan shouldn't raise questions about the use of drones, says Sen. Tim Kaine, a leading voice on foreign policy on Capitol Hill — but he says they should raise questions about the mission the United States is pursuing in the region nearly 14 years after the 9/11 attacks.
This guy is absolute TRASH.

He is considered a "centrist" but lets see what he says during the convention next week.
A centrist is a poor choice if Hillary wants to bring Bernie voters into the fold. That's just my first reaction.
After Trump's speech last night I don't think that Hillary is worried about Bernie's people any more. She is worried about losing Centrists, Moderates, and independents. She could get the vast amount of Bernie supporters, but If she loses the aforementioned groups she's toast. She is scared.
I disagree with all of this. Hillary has a lock on a healthy portion of all of the aforementioned. Plus, she has pretty much every minority voting bloc locked up thanks to Trump's scorched-earth primary campaign that was "refreshingly honest and un-PC!!!!"
I am truly just being objective. i am no Hillary fan.
You can discount it all you want. The fact is is that Hillary may have lost some Blue dog support in the midwest after last night. She is scared

I think the surge of Trump over the last month and the RNC convention forced her hand. She is going to have to move away from the left to try and complete for independents.
bad timing on her part though, or just unlucky with the news cycle full of Munich and also wikileaks revealing her vetting of Politco stories.
Politico interviewed nearly 20 of Sanders’ colleagues over the past week and found a surprisingly strong appetite for change, including among influential members of the party establishment such as Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), a top prospect for vice president. More than half the senators surveyed support at least lowering the number of superdelegates, and all but two said the party should take up the matter at next month’s convention in Philadelphia, despite the potential for a high-profile intraparty feud at a critical moment in the campaign.

One issue doesn't make you a "centrist." Take national security and defense appropriation votes out of the mix and Kaine is a die-hard liberal.
