My money is on Tim Kaine as Chief of Staff for Obama...

[Virginia Dare]

there will be big political rewards for Virginia going Obama. I kind of like him in that role too, they seem to be great friends, trust each other and work well together.

1. I like that too

It really is about who you respect and can trust. Kaine would be a great COS. :thumbsup:

2. But wouldn't that give Virginia to the Republicans?

I thought that the lt. governor is a Republican.

5. Kaine is the Governor in VA

they can't do consecutive terms, so its going to be a change anyway.

3. He really needs to finish out his term though.

I believe y'all are re-districting next year. And you know better than I what happens if Kaine leaves his position early.

That's my only concern with that plan.

But I agree that he will be rewarded enormously. I'm thinking of a position that will get him some Foreign Policy experience. I really think he will be groomed for 2016.

7. Unclear what it would mean for Dems in Virginia.

but politically it makes the most sense for him.

4. Uh, let's not start doling out White House staff positions now

Spraying the anti-jinx spray...
