Apparently reporters have been pestering Larry Sabato, so he has issued a Special Edition of Sabato’s Crystal Ball: VICE PRESIDENT TIM KAINE? Pros and Cons of a New Dominion Decision.

We have no earthly idea if Virginia Governor Tim Kaine is Obama’s choice for Vice President. All we know is that distinguished reporters who claim to have good sources are calling and saying that Kaine is on the short-short list.

Since the Crystal Ball is based in Virginia, and since we have followed Tim Kaine’s career since it began on the Richmond City Council in 1994, we’ll offer our readers a brief precis on what Kaine would add to the ticket, and what he would not, should the rumors prove accurate.

As with all potential Veep picks, there are pluses and minuses. Let’s start with Kaine’s advantages.

    He's a current favorite among the lefties on the air.

    It seems clear that given the amount of leaking on this story, and the fact that Kaine is actually somewhat moderate on some issues, this is a trial balloon.

    Obama wants to see if the far left pitches a fit about Kaine. If they do, no Obama-Kaine ticket, if they don't, Kaine is in.

    That's from Not WRIGHT for America (http://www.notwrightforamerica.com), and it makes perfect sense.
