1. I bet he does..but is he an

attack dog?!

[babylonsister]

2. I don't know. But it is a great interview. GREAT! nt

[Cha]

6. Good to hear..last night Kaine

was being railed against around here.

3. Have you ever met an Irish politician who wasn't tough?

I know I haven't.

I've read he is a very good campaigner...

[babylonsister]

4. He's still on. Smart and tough. I like him a lot. nt

[DFLforever]

7. Damn I missed it.

Charlie Rose is over in my part of the country.

[babylonsister]

8. Catch it! Very good. nt

[Cha]

5. I'm just echoing the sentiment

raised on DU today that we need a VP who does "attack".

I was kinda kidding:)

[babylonsister]

9. This man is good! I'm glad I caught this. nt

[DFLforever]

10. So who arranged for his being on Charlie Rose

Any ideas?

[babylonsister]

11. Hmmm. Very good question. All I know is, he impressed me.

I now know why VA would hate to lose him. :evilgrin:

[Cha]

13. Maybe there will be a clip

on youtube soon. I wouldn't mind seeing it.

12. this would be a bad choice, IMO...

he is pro-life, plus the replacement would be a Republican Lieutenent Governor.. The Dems worked too hard to take back Virginia to give it up to Repugs.

[babylonsister]

14. He advocates pro-life, but he also agrees with Roe v. Wade.

So, who should be the VP in your opinion, a senator, governor, who?

[crimsonblue]

15. I'm torn between Sebelius and Clark...

I like Sebelius more, but I want her to run for US Senate in 2010, so I'm leaning towards Clark. He is a tenacious sonnova... Also, I like Biden a lot too, but he probably has too much baggage.

[babylonsister]

16. Thanks. I have heard from Kansans (?) who love her. Same with

Virginians and Kaine.
Clark? I loved what he had to say about McCrabby, and think that should have gone places.
I will also say that prior to that incident, I have never been a fan. I loved that he had the cojones to say what he did. He should not have been shut down.

17. Thanks for the heads up

I caught it here in the West in its entirety. Just ending now. Kaine was much more relaxed and personable than I expected.

The only thing he threatens is opposition opportunity to 270.

18. Saw it ......... just ended ..... I am going to watch it again .....

and pay better attention to it. Where I live I will get 2 more shots at watching it.

19. Video is up at Charlie Rose now.

He's a great guy, very genuine, very smart. I can see why he was such an early Obama supporter.

He carefully explains his view on Roe v Wade:considers the decision a matter of personal liberty; opposed to its overrule. Says emphasis should be on reducing unwanted pregnancies not criminalizing abortion.
