Kaine Is Able

Yup, no doubt about it now.  Tim Kaine will be Barack Obama’s running-mate.

Proof?  Easy: the Virginia governor now has his own YouTube channel.

From Tuesday’s seven-paragraph-long announcement:

Governor Timothy M. Kaine today announced the creation of his own YouTube channel on the popular online video sharing site that allows people to watch and share originally created videos.  The channel, www.youtube.com/vagovernor, features video clips of public service announcements, speeches and public forums with the Governor. Governor Kaine’s channel is part of the Virginia government community of channels.

“I am pleased to join the Virginia government community of YouTube channels,” Governor Kaine said. “The use of new media to deliver information online is vital to engage citizens in the process of government.”

In the future, the channel hopes to expand video coverage of press conferences and other appearances.

Naturally, we wish the governor best of luck engaging citizens with this “popular online video sharing site that allows people to watch and share originally created videos.”  YouTube, for short.  We just hope that, as the channel expands, there will enough bandwidth to handle Kaine’s eyebrow.

Virginia  Barack Obama
