Sure, Tim Kaine has a number of objectionable policy positions that should make liberals oppose his selection as Barack Obama's VP but, on the other hand, ponies (via Jonathan Martin)!
Kaine, who took a leave-of-absence from Harvard Law School to work as a Catholic missionary in Honduras, made his comments about the media-created Obama VP list while visiting the carnival grounds on Chincoteague Island.That's some crack reporting right there!The Virginia governor is on the island with daughter Annella for the annual Chincoteague pony swim. [...]
The conversation took place on the Chincoteague carnival grounds near the Tilt-a-Whirl. The governor did not get on the amusement ride but the governor's daughter and Mason's grandchildren did, according to Derrickson. [...]
On Saturday, he is slated to go to a beach house at the Camp Pendleton military base in Virginia for a family vacation.
"It's kind of like gubernatorial equivalent of Camp David," said Skinner when asked to describe Kaine's vacation destination.
