Raising Kaine?

Speculation has greatly increased regarding Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia as a possible running mate for Barack Obama. That means one of two things: 1) Kaine will be the nominee, or 2) Obama will surprise us. OK, so that's tautological: the choice will be either surprising or unsurprising. Profound, huh?

I would not be (paradoxical as this may sound) surprised about a surprise. Candidates have made surprising choices in the past.

I find it interesting that the name of Senator Joe Biden of Delaware is being mentioned with increasing frequency.

A New York Times article, today, describes the Obama campaign's process for vetting potential vice-presidential nominees, and comments on the current state of play among the possible candidates.
