Obama-Kaine?

[Pro]

The new "hot" speculation is that Barack Obama will name Tim Kaine as his VP nominee:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/28/AR2008072802041_pf.html

In all liklihood, this tips Virginia in Obama's favor. That may be reason enough. But it still seems odd, a not-well-known Presidential candidate with an almost unknown (outside his home state) VP candidate.

Kaine has a decent shot if you look at it from an electoral perspective, but his resume is as thin as Obama's, so he's not going to help much where Obama needs it most in the areas of experience, foreign policy etc. They'd probably already be printing up the Obama-Warner bumper stickers if Mark W. wasn't running for the Senate.

PLAGERISM

I know in these days of wide stances, sticking piles of cash in your fridge and taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from business people, that plagerism seems like a minor problem... but when you have that kind of history, it becomes the story for the first 3 days after the announcement.

[Pro]

PLAGERISM.

Do you think anyone cares about that anymore? Hell, this country elected a President who had a DWI in his background. And another who used family connections to avoid the draft. One of the current Presidential candidates dumped his first wife for a younger and richer one...and was implicated in the S&L scandal. And nobody seemed to care much about those.

Maybe in 1987 it was a big deal, but if you said today that a candidate lifted passages from a British politican's speech to use in his own, without attribution, my guess is that the general reaction would be "So what? What else ya got?"

Well, we now know it won't be Webb ... Hillary has sent him a message ... from the Roanoke (VA) Times:

Aide to U.S. Senator Jim Webb found dead from apparent gunshot wound
By Dan Casey

Frederick W. Hutchins Jr.

Authorities in Botetourt County this morning discovered the body of a well-known Democratic operative and U.S. Senate aide along U.S. 220, dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

The body of Frederick W. Hutchins Jr., 26, of Roanoke was found shortly after 7 a.m. along southbound U.S. 220 by a Botetourt County deputy who had stopped to check on a vehicle parked on the highway's shoulder, according to the sheriff's office.

Hutchins was an aide to U.S. Senator Jim Webb, D-Va.

Hutchins had been shot in the head, and a gun was found beneath his body, Sheriff Ronnie Sprinkle said. The sheriff added that the official cause of death would be determined by the state medical examiner.

Hutchins' body was outside the car, which was north of Fincastle, on a small embankment beside the road. Sprinkle said the death occurred between 4:30 a.m., when an officer passed the scene and no vehicle was present, and 7:08 a.m., when another officer stopped to check on the parked vehicle.

Before joining Webb's office, Hutchins was an aide to state Del. Onzlee Ware, D-Roanoke.

This afternoon, Ware said he first met Hutchins at a political rally at the Roanoke City Market in 1993. The 13-year-old Hutchins declared that Ware was going to run for office one day, and that Hutchins would be his campaign manager, Ware recalled. Ten years later, it happened.

Hutchins was always loyal, Ware said. “Fred stuck with me,” he said. “And there were times I know he was called a n-----lover because he stuck with me, a black man.”

They'd talked about the future, Ware said. “We always said there’d be another campaign to come,” he said. “I’d run for another office and he again planned to be my campaign manager."

Ware teared up, then continued: “I don’t question what God does. He left Fred here for a short time and he did things most people don’t get to do in a lifetime.”

Senator Jim Webb today issued a statement about Hutchins' death: “I am terribly saddened by the tragic and sudden death of Fred Hutchins, who diligently managed our Roanoke Senate office. Freddie was one of the most honorable and friendly individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing. He was a mainstay in the Roanoke community and a friend to all who knew him. My condolences go out to his mother, Karen, and the rest of his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.”

Um, those weren't "talking points", they were facts. And if you consider mad spinning a fine job, then I agree.

Also, if you want to see just how articulate Obama is without a net, watch his interview with Bill Hemmer.
