Download audio file (KaineInterview.mp3) What a day for DoubleSpeak! This morning we scored an interview with Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia and were able to be among the first people to ask him about the Washington Post s reports that he sits atop Senator Barack Obama s shortlist for Vice-President. We ve posted over at HuffingtonPost s OffTheBus but wanted to give some love to all you DoubleSpeakers out there too. Here s the recap as described on the HuffPo: Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia woke up this morning to a new reality. He is, as reported by the Washington Post, on the short list to be Sen. Barack Obama s running mate. Kaine s monthly radio appearance to discuss local issues pre-scheduled for today on WTOP radio in Washington, DC, was cast in different, higher intensity light. Kaine was joined by his colleagues DC Mayor Adrian Fenty and Maryland Governor Martin O Malley. It was quite a scene with a catered buffet (which included an omelet station) and a throng of reporters waiting to get an answer to the question of the day: will Kaine be Obama s Vice-Presidential pick? Immediately following the radio broadcast, we were able to get a few minutes with the Governor and ask a number of questions about his personal reaction to the attention he s receiving and to get his response to Sen. McCain s recent attacks on Sen. Obama s overseas trip. Kaine on McCain s campaign: It s just desperation. They re just looking for a handle to grab on and slow the momentum of this bus down. And, it s a different strategy every couple of days. It really has the air of desperation about it. Kaine on Vice-Presidential Speculation: I m not going to make the case for myself because that s not why I ve endorsed Senator Obama And, it still seems unlikely to me, it s nice being mentioned. My Mom likes it, you know, but look, I got on board in February of 07 because I knew the country needed a change in direction and from a good Democratic field I thought the field was a good field he just struck as the guy who could change the direction of the nation. I m just so gratified by the way the campaign has been run and the chance we have nationally but also in Virginia. It s a little surreal. It s surreal to be mentioned and again it s nice to be considered but I know there s a lot of folks they re looking at there s a lot of different skills and attributes that they have to weigh personal, geographic, political a whole series of things. But, you know, I have grown to have tremendous confidence in Barack s judgment, in the judgment of his team, in very hard moments along the campaign, you know, I ve kind of been with him when things were going well and not so well but they ve always, in a cool and deliberate way, made a good judgment, and I have no doubt that the pick they make is going to be a strong one. For more images click here. A very special thank you to our talented photographer Kate Sokolov who negotiated her way through the gaggle of reporters to get some great pics. We also want to thank Governor Kaine s staff for allowing us great access during the WTOP interview and for granting us one of the only one-on-one interviews of the morning.

Jonny Goldstein, GerryT, and I got into a car with a stranger. That stranger - was Irina Slutsky. Irina, as usual did things a little different; in her words "the mountain comes to Mohammed." And that's just what the folks at the festival did. They came in droves for a drive, but at what cost? A confession. These are our confessions. Enjoy!

As now-Republican nominee John McCain heads back to New Hampshire, we turn back the clock to just 2 months ago, when Senator McCain s triumph over his opponents was far from assured.

We ve been, you know, we ve been working at this for 10 months, and we had this vision when we started that we could attract young people in ways that they hadn t been attracted before. Independents, some disillusioned republicans, and built on our democratic base. and do something special, and, you know, its great to have a theory. You can build the plane, but last night, we found out whether it could fly or not, and it flew beautifully, you know. and I think its going to continue to fly. DOUBLESPEAK Do you credit young voters with your victory last night? DAVID AXELROD Well I think they were a huge part of it, just to put it in perspective, in 2004 only 12% of the voters who participated in the caucauses were under the age of 45. Last night, it was 40% and of that 40% 22% were under the age of 29. And so, 22% of the voters we re under the age of 29, and 22% were over the age of 65. Usually the over 65 dominate. So it was a profound change in the composition of the electorate. So, yes I give young people credit, and you know, look, this is not just a prescription for winning the nomination, this is what we as a party have to do, we have to reenergize young people in this country, and give them a sense that there is meaning in politics, that you can actually acheive postive things for yourself and the country by being involved. That s been beaten out of young people for so long, and I think he is reigniting a sense of possibility, and thats very very important. DOUBLESPEAK Whats your messaage to New Hampshire youth? inevitably this thing could get ugly, there could be attacks leveled at obama in the next week. DAVID AXELROD There very well may, I would expect that, but you know, I think in a sense, those are exactly the kind of tactics that are part of the old politics that we ve come to know and hate in this country. I think we have to stop ripping each other down, and lifting up the country, and thats what this candidacy is about.

I ve been missing the road a bit recently Seems like time to head back out. Remember last November? Download audio file (doublespeak_episode23_96k.mp3)

Here's some roving around. I spoke with the lovely co-host of the show Irina Slutsky who won a vloggie for Best Interview. I also chat with super bloggers Robert Scoble and Steve Gillmor.

Also spoke with the "voice of the vloggies" Joe Klein and the incredibly cool Micki "Mickipedia" Krimmell, who heads community building for Revver and is building a tech scene in LA.
