comes to matters like reporting of gifts, because of what happened with a different go governor, bob mcdonald court case about gifts given to him and his family and so forth. that's a matter of the supreme court saying that did not constitute official acts. so the issue of what is under the law in virginia, how has it played in the political life of prominent virginia politicians has been a part of conversation. so for tim kaine who served as governor, democratic national committee chairman and now senator and is certainly one of those who is talked about and encouraged by some clinton friends to be her ultimate choice to be running mate. so the tim kaine gifts are things like political travel where someone else is paying that bill. and that is the kind of thing that can get a lot of scrutiny but under the law, as far as we know about these sourts of things, there is nothing inpreppate about it. but it does draw that attention, kate. that might be something that he will have to answer for. certainly part after typical vetting process. not to say we know what the clinton team might look at spe
