The record underscores the personality-dominated nature of the 2016 contest and the tall task of representing two universally known -- and unpopular -- presidential nominees. With their only debate in the books, Pence and Kaine each head to Pennsylvania on Wednesday to campaign in the key battleground state ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
