Sunday Open Thread [7.24.16]

Politico has a must read it all story about the Clinton VP process. It has interesting nuggets about how Castro dropped out of favor because he was openly and privately campaigning for the job, about how Ed Rendell pushed Vilsack (God, how that guy's political instincts have fallen apart) and how James Carville was pushing Elizabeth Warren (which garners him more respect from me), and about how Hillary sat each candidate down (Warren, Perez, Vilsack, Kaine and Castro), sang their praises and then asked "why do you want the job?" Like a normal job interview. Also, how Kaine called Bernie Sanders last night after the call from Hillary. Read the whole thing.

When in downtown Wilmington, don't miss the Kalmar Nyckel tall ship docked at the Riverfront! It's a replica of the original ship that brought the first European settlers to the Delaware Valley in 1638. It's one of many symbols of Wilmington's rich history. Our convenient shuttle will bring you directly to the Riverfront! ‪#‎visitWilm __________________________ #sheraton #spg #spglife #travel #IGDelaware #delagram #netDE #delaware #wilmingtonDE #visitDE #tallship #history #river #summer

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.

Since it is widely expected that the VP announcement will be today, perhaps this is the event where it will happen. I have no idea, of course, but this rally is being live-streamed (starts at 4:30 EDT) so if you want to see it as it happens, here you go:
