Clinton-Kaine's first joint appearance as a ticket. I know many are disappointed, or think Kaine is boring. If you do feel that way, watch the speech. Just watch it. I think your opinion will be changed dramatically.

DR Tucker at the Washington Monthly on Kaine:

While I anticipated that [...] Hillary Clinton would select a running mate more admired by the progressive wing of the party, I have no grievance with her selection of Virginia Senator Tim Kaine as her partner. Yes, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth in some quarters because Caine is viewed as the ultimate centrist. [But] as Evan Popp notes, Kaine’s record is not nearly as offensive to progressives as is commonly assumed.
