Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, a top contender for the Democratic vice presidential spot, was on campus today, according to the Associated Press.
Kaine, who was attending a ROTC ceremony for his son Nat, is on the short list of candidates for the highly-anticipated announcement. Other possibilities include Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana.
An official announcement is expected from the Obama campaign as early as this afternoon after the presumptive Democratic nominee confirmed yesterday that he has finally decided who his running mate will be.
Kaine was the first statewide elected official outside Illinois to endorse Obama for president. Nat, the eldest of the three Kaine children, has also campaigned for the senator.
The Kaine family also appeared on campus earlier this summer for Colonial Inauguration events.
