Tomasky: Kaine kills it in first joint speech
Tim Kaine surprised many by the ease with which he’s stepped into the possible-VP role.
Click here for reuse options!He was natural. He was smart. He was relaxed and funny, and he was serious. He was proud of himself and his wife and family but never arrogant. He was humble without ever being cloying in that way the politically humble can often be. He was genuine. He was unbelievable.
And part of the way through, this thought struck me: He is the perfect choice for her because he comes across as so at ease and so real. These are two things, as we know, that Hillary Clinton has a lot of trouble with. She’s too scripted, she’s a phony, all that stuff. Kaine was just so easy-breezy, so comfortable with himself and in this role, that he has the potential to wash away a decent chunk of that negativity about her.

The speech was pretty good. The content was fairly standard boilerplate, with a few good jabs at Trump, but what was really impressive was the delivery. Kaine came across as extremely likable, he was at ease in the role and with Hillary. He involved the audience very well. He’ll be a fine vice-president.
Following Hillary’s rather creaky and stilted intro, I found myself thinking that he would be great at the top of the ticket. Maybe she’ll learn a thing or two from Kaine and discover how to relax.
