Clinton and Kaine have a personable friendship, underrated but important for the VP slot
Speaks Spanish fluently, could help drive up Latino turnout
A lot of executive experience
Values and ideas closest resembles Clinton from candidates left in the running
Viewed as a safe and attractive choice as she's up in polls and doesn't need to throw in a curveball if it's not needed
Very popular from Virginia
Endorsed Clinton in 2014 and has made numerous stops and rallies on her behalf
His aides have strong connections to Clinton's aides, which helps when insiders can talk you up to her
