Two Foreign Policy Zeroes on the Dem Ticket?

Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia is getting all the VP attention on the Dem side, but what does he really bring to the ticket except the possibility of winning Virginia?

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine appears to be emerging as the frontrunner in the race to be named Barack Obama’s Democratic vice presidential running mate.

The presumptive nominee has told close associates he has had “very serious” conversations with Obama and has provided documents to the campaign, several sources close to Kaine told The Washington Post.

Sens. Joe Biden and Evan Bayh are also said to be on the short short list, according to the Post.

Obama was in Washington, D.C., on Monday to meet with his economic advisory panel, but also took time to visit the office of Eric Holder, who is leading the vice presidential vetting team with Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg. He is meeting with the House Democratic Caucus on Tuesday.

Kaine, a former Richmond mayor, would satisfy many of the criteria Obama is seeking in a running mate. He is an outside-the-Beltway type, suggesting he represents “change,” Obama’s key campaign theme. He also is very popular in an important potential swing state this year, and could attract Catholics, Hispanics and working-class voters.

However, Kaine has no foreign policy background to speak of nor has he achieved any major or notable accomplishment while governor.

I guess if the Democrats can nominate a presidential candidate who hasn't really done anything, they can nominate a VP candidate with the same qualifications.

UPDATE: Jim Geraghty thinks the GOP would be lucky to face an Obama-Kaine ticket.
