Well, that was almost as inevitable as Hillary's nomination.

I've been saying Clinton/Kaine since November 2014, lol. Before that I thought Clinton/Warner.

IceSpear flashback:

Why pick Kaine when you have Warner who is better in every way?

[Mr. Morden]

At least Kaine goes to mass, unlike Pence and Rubio, who still claim to be Catholic when it helps them but go to evangelical Protestant services instead.

As I understand it, Rubio goes to both Catholic *and* Protestant services:

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but Politico has a juicy behind the scenes look at Clinton's veep search, including who was pushing for whom:
