Tim Ryan, a 40 year old Ohio Congressman has given keynote speeches for Ready for Hillary fundraisers. He was elected to Congress at 29, and is a member of the appropriations committee.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/12/you-can-never-be-too-ready-for-hillary/282354/

I'm wondering if he's trying to establish himself as the Democratic version of another Congressman Ryan, one who was just on a national campaign.

I don't think Hillary should pick him, but I could definitely see it.

If Hillary is picking anyone from Ohio it's Sherrod Brown definitely it's been proven that people from the House do not make good picks for VP's Hillary will pick someone who's won statewide before.

John Hickenlooper. He's a popular governor whose domestic experience balances Hillary's experience in foreign afffairs. He's also a Washington outsider so there's less baggage there.

I would've said Hickenlooper maybe a year ago but he's certainty fallen from grace his approval rating has dropped dramatically and it's looking likely his race will be competitive next year. Also he's too old Hillary is probably gonna pick someone much younger than herself.

I think Hillary should pick a Governor but the question is who? The Dems Governor bench is pretty weak the only good potential candidate is Steve Bullock of Montana. And what if Clinton picks Heinrich and Christie picks Martinez?

Still hoping for Klobuchar as Hillary's VP.

Also think Klobuchar would be a great VP pick for Clinton she would help her in the Midwest/Rust Belt especially if Walker is the nominee. Clinton seems weak in Iowa and Wisconsin could be in play with Walker, Klobuchar has farm connections and would play well with the rural population.
