Maybe.
Obviously, readers of this blog know that I've been pulling for Obama to select Joe Biden for veep, in part because I think he's the schlubbiest man for the job. But Tim Kaine gets off a crack in this CNN piece that I have to respect (at least schlub-wise): "My mom in Kansas City loves it when someone will talk about me as VP."
Wowzers. I sense a real kindred spirit.
Plus, I have to admit, the fact that David Brooks is pulling for Biden makes him a slightly less attractive candidate in my eyes. I know that that's not fair to Joe. And, truthfully, despite Kaine's latest pronouncement of maternal devotion, I still think Joe probably trumps him on most schlub issues.
But let's just say this schlub wouldn't be at all unhappy if it's Tim Kaine tomorrow.
