Exactly. The Rs have gone with that 'ideological purity' thing and look where they are. Compromise is NOT a dirty word. It's how stuff gets done.

He's not Evan Bayh, at least. He's not exciting enough to make a Wonkette shirt of, nor objectionable enough to be mocked on SNL.

He's fine.

Playing Devil's Advocate here, I'm willing to bet that Kaine may have supported informed consent possibly as a compromise to ensure the greater good of a bill made it through a decidedly "purple" state legislature. At least, that's how I choose to read it.

Actually, the best thing about Kaine is that he's stood up for the Syrian people fighting their dictator, even though there is zero political capital to be gained doing so from either the right or the hard Left (both of whom seem to think that anyone who picks up a Qur'an is ISIS and that Arabs can't be trusted with democracy). Sorry, this is a beef of mine.

There ... must be a photoshop out there, somewhere, of Putin in a bikini.

On a boat.

(No Old Spice, though; he just doesn't measure up to Old Spice Guy)

There already is one party that prides itself on digging in their heels and not compromising.....
