On Aug. 28, two weeks from tonight, Barack Obama accepts the Democrats’ presidential nomination in Denver. Meantime, wags are still trying to read the tea leaves about his vice presidential pick.

Gov. Tim Kaine’s public schedule for next week, just released, doesn’t list any face time with the Ilinois senator. Of course, Kaine surely would make an exception if the Illinois senator came calling.

Here’s Kaine’s schedule for now:

On Monday morning, Aug. 18, he appears before the General Assembly’s money committees to present the news about just how badly the state’s revenues are missing projections. That afternoon Kaine is to be in the Old House Chamber to deliver remarks at the unveiling of a “portrait bust” of Meriwether Lewis on the explorer’s 234th birthday.

On Wednesday, Aug. 20, Kaine and his Cabinet will be out and about, getting a briefing at Fort Monroe, touring an education center in Hampton, visiting a community for the elderly in Newport News, touring a science center at the College of William and Mary and attending a reception at Berkeley Plantation in Charles City County.

On Thursday, Aug. 21, Kaine is to deliver remarks in Mechanicsville at the launch of the Washington Regional Alcohol Program’s Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign.  It raises awareness about drunken driving.

Presumably sometime that weekend Kaine will fly to Denver to attend the Democratic convention, which begins Monday, Aug. 25.
