.@timkaine has landed in Boston for his noon fundraiser. Asked by @betsy_klein if he has talked to HRC, Kaine said, "No news to report."

Anyone know what time the Florida rally is today?

11. Seems like there would be just enough time for him to get to the Florida Rally

If the Mass. fundraiser was pretty quick. But it would be cutting it close.

9. And in that case the VP will vote for the administration's position,

not his/her own opinion. Still, I'm hoping for someone other than Kaine.

13. The thick plottens

Anybody know where Vilsack is?

As somebody else here pointed out, does Clinton think she should worry about November or January? I think the latter, in which case energizing the populist anti-bank activist left is not a priority. I think Warren would be a great VP especially in the usual attack dog role, but it would signal that Clinton's braintrust, undoubtedly more informed and more savvy than me or anyone else here (unless we have high ranking insiders posting), are more worried about November than I am. A Vilsack or Kaine (planes are quick these days) pick would do less to excite me, much less to excite those further left on the econ front, but also be more reassuring about how the inner circle see the GE.

15. Please not Kaine, please not Kaine, please not Kaine

Hoping that repeating this ad nausea will somehow filter out into the universe and make this story fade away. After seeing Elizabeth on Colbert last night, I just can't imagine anyone else but her.
