Kaine in 'Serious' Talks With Obama
Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has told close associates that he has had "very serious" conversations with Sen. Barack Obama about joining the Democratic presidential ticket and has provided documents to the campaign as it combs through his background, according to several sources close to Kaine.
Sens. Evan Bayh (Ind.) and Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.) are also being seriously vetted by the campaign staff, according to sources with knowledge of the process.
Obama has revealed little about which way he is leaning. And despite rising anticipation that a decision is imminent, campaign officials said an announcement is likely in mid-August, shortly before the Democratic National Convention. Obama's top aides, David Plouffe and David Axelrod, huddled yesterday in the Washington office of Eric Holder, who along with Caroline Kennedy is vetting potential running mates.
Although rumors have circulated about former military leaders and other nontraditional contenders, including Republicans, Obama's pool of prospects is heavy on longtime senators with foreign policy experience. Kaine and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius are the only state leaders believed to be under serious consideration, sources close to Obama said.

I think people just need to relax. Bill Press was making a huge deal out of this on his show today. This isn't a decision, it's just one possibility of many. In the end, I trust his judgment to find the VP who best suits his presidency. He knows far better than we do what that person should be like. We may read a lot of stuff, but we're not THAT knowledgable.
I wonder if people are so up in arms about it because Cheney has so drastically changed the VP role. But remember, that's under Bush. I seriously doubt Obama would allow his VP such latitude. They wouldn't be relegated to just a funeral stand-in, but they certainly won't have the power Cheney has wielded. I think Obama will bring perspective back to the role.
