McAuliffe Touts Kaine for V-P in Fairfax Talk

Former National Dem Chief Says Virginia is Key




The former national chairman of the Democratic Party who ran Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign this year told 200 Democratic activists in Fairfax County Tuesday that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine would be his party's best choice as Barack Obama's vice presidential running mate.

Terry McAuliffe brought his articulate, high energy speaking style to the monthly meeting of the Fairfax County Democratic Committee at Oakton High School, to, among other things, "make no mistake" that his party leadership considers Virginia "a battleground state" in the 100 days left to fight it out for the presidency this fall.

"The fact that we've opened 33 offices around the state should remove all doubt" about how important Virginia is perceived to be for winning the election, he said. "We've leased them all through November," he added.

Although Virginia hasn't gone for a Democratic presidential nominee since 1964, and until recently was considered a solid "red," or Republican, state, the last three statewide elections for U.S. Senate and governor have all gone to the Democratic candidate.

Obama will have the benefit of having on the slate with him in Virginia a strong and popular Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, former Governor Mark Warner, with the demonstrated ability to win support among Republican voters.

So far, the campaign of presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, has announced the opening of only one office in the state, in Virginia Beach. McCain will have a tougher time working in sync with the Virginia GOP's nominee for the U.S. Senate, former Governor Jim Gilmore, who represents the party's most conservative wing.

McAuliffe was adamant in his recommendation of Kaine as the Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee Tuesday, although he stressed to the News-Press after his speech, which included an informal half-hour question and answer period, that the ultimate choice will be Obama's very personal one.

18. I'm cold on Kaine. Obama needs a more well-known, grayer, national-security figure.
We can win VA without Kaine.

19. Well that takes him off the list then.
If McUseless wants him on the ticket, then he's the wrong guy for the job.

21. That was my thinking as well. Remember, I'm not sure McAuliffe really
even wants Obama to win--Obama is squeezing out the Old Guard, and they don't like it.

28. Yeah, I said Kaine because I thought he'd be a good one
but now I no longer want Kaine if McAwful says he'd be good.
