Is Tim Kaine going it alone?

During a campaign appearance in Dayton, Ohio today, Kaine was talking a lot like he was the principal candidate.

“I’ll tell you a little bit about me,” Kaine said, as his running mate is reportedly home recuperating from “pneumonia” for at least two more days.

“In campaigns, I have run 8 races and I have won 8 races. I’m undefeated.

“And can I just tell ya, I’m not gonna lose this one. I am not gonna lose this one,” Kaine declared, before quickly adding, “Hillary and I — we are not gonna lose this one.”

But then he continued to talk about himself as though he was the main candidate.

“But I’ve got to be really candidate with you though. I’ve won all my races but I barely win my races.

“If I were to leave you with the impression that I’m a big landslide guy, I would have left you with the wrong impression,” Kaine said.

At the same rally, U.S. Senate candidate buffeted Kaine by saying the current vice presidential candidate is “ready to become the president,” according to Columbus Dispatch Public Affairs editor Darrel Rowland.
