Would a less bland VP pick have helped either candidate?

[Jags]

I read somewhere that Vilsack was the #2 choice. With hindsight, I think he would have been much better, though I suppose at the time the Midwest was considered safe and Clinton was focusing on expanding the map in FL, AZ, TX, for which Kaine's Spanish language skill must have been a big plus.

Lol at picking a white man as VP to pick up latino votes just because he speaks spanish.
