So, where's Tim Kaine?

It's generally the role of the running mate to serve as the candidate's "attack dog," to defend the campaign in a manner the candidate can't. If I were in charge of HRC's campaign, I'd have had Kaine out there from the get-go, loudly denouncing the "scandal" as a nothingburger, and casting aspersions on Comey's motives. For the life of me, I can't understand why Kaine has vanished over the past two days.

The FBI director has gone rogue trying to sway the election. What should be the response?

in many states whose legislatures may be tipped Democratic and that have House and Senate seats we're after.

Barack and Michelle Obama are also refusing to be distracted into disastrously focusing on emails as well.

There's a lesson here.

Just FYI-Kaine appeared on the Sunday morning political shows and did a great job of defending the Clinton campaign and pointing out the obvious concerns with Comey's inexplicable letter.

He's been on the campaign trail every day since it was reported. What else would you have him do? Make stuff up like Trump does? Spew hate? I like the calm of the Hillary campaign.

don't live in the 24 hour cable news and internet warrior bubble.

Most people are thinking of halloween and some baseball games right now.
