Kaine: Virginia could go blue for Obama

[book_worm]

I'm not running for anything. ... But my highest and best use is trying to be a good governor and trying to help Sen. Obama in Virginia, which as you know traditionally hasn't gotten a lot of attention in presidential years," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

Kaine spoke from Norfolk, Virginia, where he joined Michelle Obama earlier at a roundtable discussion with military families.

Sen. Obama, meanwhile, campaigned in Indiana alongside Sen. Evan Bayh, another politician believed to be on the vice presidential short list -- but did not address vice presidential rumors.

Kaine said he believes Obama could win in Virginia.

"I really believe for the first time in 44 years that we have a great chance of getting the electoral votes in a blue column for Sen. Obama this fall," he added.

3. Isn't he anti-choice?

If so, no way.

4. He has governed pro-choice

But he won't be the VP nominee anyway, so the issue is moot.
