Barack Obama Hints At VP Pick. I Say Forget Joe Biden. Obama Aims To Raise A KAINE -- Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, That Is!

Below is what Obama had to say, according to CNN:

"Obama said he wanted somebody who is "prepared to be president" and who will be "a partner with me in strengthening this economy for the middle class and working families."

He said he was looking for not just a partner but a sparring partner. "I want somebody who's independent, somebody who can push against my preconceived notions and challenge me so we have got a robust debate in the White House."

Editor's comment: Who would that be, you ask?

Well, Obama is in Virginia today, where he HEAPED praises upon Governor Tim Kaine on improving Virginia's economy.

That suggests that Obama believes Tim Kaine can reprise his economic miracle in the U. S. .

It MUST be Governor Tim Kaine!

I expect that text message around mid night tonight.
