It's looking more and more like Tim Walz was a brilliant choice. [View all]

Very few figured Tim Walz even had a chance. And when word came out he was picked, I wondered what Kamala Harris was thinking.

I think we know now. Walz was more personable and down-to-earth than the majority of us knew. Which is why the GOP is scraping to dig up stuff on him.

With every appearance, Walz looks like he'll be sooooooooo comfortable as Vice President.

Christmas came early.
