Is this a serious thread? I didn't see the sarcasm font.
The odds of the face of the Democratic Party picking a guy who held office as a Republican for the ticket are zero. Not slim, or even microscopic--zero.
Crist comes from the most populated swing state in the country, a state Obama won narrowly in 2012.
And he would fit a campaign theme that is useful for Democrats (Those Republicans are just too extreme. )
He's not Hillary's likeliest running mate, but he's probably one of the officeholders who has a shot at it.
Yeah no. Democrats have some concerns about Hillary being too moderate and they need a liberal veep that they can support. Democrats are also pretty unlikely to support a guy who said he was a reagan conservative and who said Palin would be a better president than Obama.
The running mate comes for the General Election where the strategy is more complex (increasing base turnout without scaring swing voters, and sending Republicans out in record numbers.)
It's pretty hard for any Democrat to beat Clinton, nearly impossible actually, but choosing an opportunist that few people like that would create dissatisfaction across the base is a very bad choice.
