Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has named Virginia Senator and former governor, Tim Kaine as her Vice-Presidential choice. Throughout the vetting process, Kaine had remained the top choice by odds makers, pundits and political watchers.

Clinton had been scheduled to make the announcement earlier on Friday and like her challenger, Republican Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, had delayed the announcement due to a terror attack, this time in Munich, Germany that left nine dead and ten wounded in what has been described as a lone-wolf rampage through a crowded shopping Mall.
