I receive just about every possible fundraising email from the DNC, party organizations, campaigns. . . I know I am not alone. Most of them I just ignore. But this one from Joe Biden is worth sharing:
In the small hours of the morning
Kenneth --
There are only six people alive right now who can tell you what the job of vice president is really about.
Who can tell you what it's like to spend late nights in the Oval Office, just you and the president, talking through gut-wrenching choices that will affect the lives of millions of people.
Who know what it means to give counsel, be a sounding board, and take on whatever task the president needs you to tackle -- because that job is literally too big to do alone.
So let me tell you this about Tim Kaine: He is everything you want in a vice president.
He is worthy of trust. He is brave. He is unfailingly kind. He cares about all the little details of policy and governance -- everything you have to sweat if you're going to make life better for the people who need help most.
He's the partner you want in the small hours of the morning when there's a decision that only you and the president can make.
It's official. It's done. We know who our next president is going to be. We know our next vice president, too.
And right now, you couldn't keep me out of this fight if you wanted to. What about you -- are you with me?
