Gov. Timothy M. Kaine dismissed talk yesterday that he's a potential vice presidential candidate. But he said former Gov. Mark R. Warner and U.S. Sen. Jim Webb would help the Democratic ticket.
"I'm not going to be the vice president," Kaine replied to a question about the 2008 election on the monthly radio call-in show on WTOP in Washington. "I have a job until January of 2010."
In February, Kaine publicly threw his support behind U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., like the governor a Harvard-educated civil-rights lawyer. Kaine's early backing was a major political coup for Obama, coming a year before the presidential primaries and almost two years before the November 2008 election.
However, Kaine says he'll remain in the Executive Mansion. |
