BenFred: Restoring Border War would make Tim Kaine a Mizzou legend

Tim Kaine might not be so bad after all.

Some people — OK, I was one of them — bashed the Democratic vice-presidential candidate for being a Kansas-born Mizzou alum who claims to root for Kansas basketball while not giving much of a rip about its struggling football program. To top it all off, his parents pull for Kansas State. But hey, let's forget all that — if Kaine can come through on the most crucial claim made during the current election cycle.

If Kaine can kick-start negotiations to resume the Mizzou-Kansas Border War, he should be a first-ballot entry into the True Son Hall of Fame.
