Please pick Ernst, Trump. We need the Republican ticket to be even more moronic.

Hickenlooper would be a poor choice. I'm still sort of hoping for Warren, while predicting it will likely be Kaine.

Hickenlooper was on my list at the beginning, I don't think he'd be a bad choice by any means. But I think now, he's not the right option. Castro CANNOT HAPPEN.

I just don't think that Hickenlooper adds a lot to the ticket. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of him.

Anyway, I agree with folks, Castro would be a huge mistake.

I'd be more than okay with Franken.

Glad to see that Castro is probably out, though I never really expected her to pick him anyway.

Yeah, Kaine is definitely the wiser choice, by this point.

Ugh, well, I'd still prefer Kaine to Vilsack.

So, Vilsack wouldn't be an automatic Iowa win for HRC? 

I'm really not sure how much he'd help Hillary in Iowa. He's been out of the governor's mansion for almost 10 years. He might give her a small boost, but if we're concerned about electoral math, Virginia is more valuable than Iowa.

Well, speaking as a Hoosier, if she were to pick Evan Bayh, Indiana would automatically be in play.  He's considered a political god in Indiana.  I'm not sure how popular Vilsack is in Iowa.


I'm not from Iowa, so I can't say for certain, either. Not many politicians are as popular in their state as Bayh is in Indiana, though.

So people didn't want Warren because the VP doesn't set policy and she'd be better in the Senate.

But people also don't want Kaine because of his policies and he'd be worse in the Senate than as a powerless VP.

Ok.

I would personally love to see Warren as VP, but I'm also aware of the risks of such a pick.

It's true that Republicans would temporarily get a senate seat if Warren is the VP choice. Still, it's Massachusetts, we're talking about a brief loan here. It's my impression that the Massachusetts Democratic Party isn't the Florida Democratic Party. They won't nominate Coakley a third time... will they?

She can announce her VP and address the attacks. I don't see why her announcement has to wait.

For God's sake, it's not going to be Crist. Relax, people.
