Gov McSexy was also cute in college.
 
I think we need to come up with a time sharing agreement/roster for gay PoliGaf.

It's going to be really confusing if we can't remember who gets which Politician on which night.
 
This pick was a dud. Boring, unimaginative and the opposite of bold. I think the Trump candidacy offered her the opportunity to take a chance on her number two and she passed it up. Shame

An unfortunate side effect of disciplined, thoughtful, and sound decision making is that it can be pretty boring. Logic and predictability go hand in hand.

I really don't want Trump's crazy ass to affect my candidate's decision making at all.
 
He deleted that tweet, but just replaced it with a differently worded version:

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago
Is it the same Kaine that took hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts while Governor of Virginia and didn't get indicted while Bob M did?

Too hard for him to spell McDonnell's last name, so he sticks with the initial?

Like, this reinforces he has no rapid response team. At all. Like. There was NOTHING from them when the pick was announced. Hillary's people had that shit ready to go immediately.

Also, Trump's Twitter banner thing looks like something from a GTA parody or something.

That Hillary picking Kaine is somehow black people's fault.
No lies detected.


Edit: speaking of that being "black people's fault." I had a friend wonder out loud tonight after the Kaine pick why Hillary didn't go for Booker to "shore up the black vote". I was like breh, have you seen her polling on that demo?

So there you go, it's black peoples fault she picked Kaine and not Booker. Because they like her too much.

Not only that, but Hillary has an ace in her corner when it comes to shoring up the black vote.

Barack Michelle Obama.

Black folk are a little mad at Barack right now.

Michelle is like Beyoncé x 100 to black people. Have her out there campaigning, and black folk WILL show up and show OUT.

Show nuff.

Actually what if Bey and Michelle did a rally :eek:

*goes and watches the Michelle Obama carpool karaoke video*
 
Seriously can we talk about how the intercept/wikileaks is pretty much a Russian intelligence outlet right now?

From Sam Biddle's twitter:
@fmanjoo there’s also the slight matter of us not knowing for sure whether or not it was russia? remember the sony/north korea clusterfuck?

"We don't know for sure"

The fact that he hedges so much. Bunch of useful idiots.

As someone who followed the whole FISA/PRISM controversy thing pretty closely... it's fucked. There are good people and bad mixed up in the leaks and disclosures, but what's really become a defining aspect of this period is how so much power in the hands of so few publishers has corrupted them pretty badly. Small outlets that were once whistleblower bridges now consider themselves crusader battering rams.

Assange and Greenwald helming their outlets like a private soapbox contributes massively to that corruption of purpose problem, of course. Fewer people to rein in one's excesses and temper conclusions.

And fewer people to add oversight. There's some irony for you.

Man, just watched all of the vids in that post in the Kaine thread and came away incredibly impressed. He is such a knowledgable and well spoken individual that just reeks of responsibility and competence. Being a more moderate part of the Democratic party, I love his pragmatic streak and think that he'll definitely convert some disaffected Dems on the fence about Trump back to Hillary's side.

Great pick Hilldawg.

Kaine is likable as heck and comes off far more personable than the other three WH candidates and as knowledgeable as Clinton. I have a suspicion that over time some people who were sour with his pick might come to prefer him over Hillary.
