Kaine: "I don't have any illusions about it. . . . I don't think that's likely to happen."

Taken for whatever it's worth --

Kaine has long been mentioned in the discussion about possible Obama running mates, but it appeared yesterday that Kaine has all but written off the possibility. When asked whether he would accept such a role if offered, Kaine said he would not turn it down.

"It's been very flattering to be mentioned," Kaine said, noting that he was an early Obama supporter and that Virginia is an important state. "I don't have any illusions about it. . . . I don't think that's likely to happen."

2. Good answer! Good answer!

...as they say on Family Feud.

Finish up your term as governor, Tim. Then run for Cantor's seat in 2010.

3. I liked Kaine on MTP. Josh Green thinks picking him would

show Obama to be strong.
