http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/elections/democratic-vice-presidential-nominee-tim-kaine-jams-with-bon-jovi/2301643For Tim Kaine, the personal highlight of the 2016 presidential race might have come Saturday at a Get Out the Vote rally at the State Theatre, courtesy of Jon Bon Jovi.
"Now that I've got Mr. Kaine up here or as I like to call him backstage, T.K.," the mega-selling rocker said after Kaine concluded a brief stump speech, "we're gonna play one more together."
And so it happened that Tim Kaine, America's dad-rock candidate for vice president, got to jam out on harmonica with Bon Jovi.
On the same day Joe Piscopo stumped for Trump in Tampa, his fellow New Jersey native Bon Jovi, did the same in St. Petersburg for his longtime friend Hillary Clinton, playing a free, intimate but packed solo show for fewer than 800 ticket-holders who began queuing up around the same time Trump took the stage across the bay.

Kaine is really doing a good job. Too bad that many have only seen him for the first time.
