I only voted for three - Cory Booker, Sherrod Brown, and Mark Warner. Sherrod Brown would add the Bernie element to the ticket. Booker is a minority with some experience, and though he would probably take some spotlight away from Hillary, he adds a youth factor that she probably needs, and if she really just wants to do no harm and pick someone who will be a nonfactor, Mark Warner is perfect (I genuinely believe that Tim Kaine would be an absolute hinderance because he's spent his career jumping over incredibly low bars and is very much underwhelming as a candidate).

The other candidates are a combination of "who cares", would be nice in a couple of years but not today, and they would be a detriment to the ticket (the last category applies to Martin O'Malley, who the Republicans probably have hours of tape attacking whoever becomes the nominee, and Brian Schweitzer)

Cory Booker is my top pick on this list, but I still like my wildcard pick of Chris Murphy.

That is a solid wildcard pick - the definition of does no harm.

Male, white, young, exciting, handsome, strong on gun control, very liberal, and has regional consistency with Clinton's NY base.

That's... where I'm gonna have to disagree with you. The guy embraces his brand as a boring guy. And that's fine: we don't need an exciting VP pick. Just a VP pick who doesn't mess things up.
