We are hearing stories that the state of Virginia held an emergency meeting because the whole state is about to be thrown into chaos following Obama's VP announcement...
A source inside the beltway informed me that high ranking officials throughout Virginia were recently summoned to the governor’s office for an emergency meeting which reportedly involved discussions on the line of succession if and when Kaine steps down to become Obama’s running mate.
The officials were mandated to leave an out-of-state conference and return to the state capitol in Richmond immediately.
Due to the confidential nature of the meeting, details are scarce but the source said that either Obama will choose Kaine, or Kaine was given the impression that he would be chosen.
Kaine, of course, says he couldn't believe he'd even be considered, "for a variety of reasons." Could the variety include the fact that Kaine dropped the ball when he gave the Democratic response to the 2006 State of the Union, which is the #1 Classic Example of Democrats being pitched an easy home run and bunting it down the third base line. The man is a Democrat in name only, brings nothing to the table except maybe a few thousands votes in Virginia (at best), and is next in line. He also long supported the Iraq War-- longer even than Hillary Clinton, who would somehow be a better choice.
Anyway, you can read more about the Kaine nod here or about his past here.
