Personally, I would support Elizabeth Warren in this primary and hope that she'd emerge the clear victor. However, should Harris triumph instead, I would still be pleased with the results. The only candidate to which I might have objections would be Cory Booker, who is definitely the most third way/neoliberal candidate of the three, has close connections to Wall Street, and holds positions that wouldn't make him more palatable to the working class than Clinton (despite his obvious charisma).

The only scenario in which I vote for Booker is if he wins the primary and is up against Trump in the general.

I have yet to form an opinion on Harris. She has potential though.

Warren will have my vote if she runs, and definitely has my vote in this scenario.

Obviously the prepossessing, unblemished KDH Purple heart<3<3!!!

Warren would be my second choice.

I don't have a problem with Booker, but we probably don't really want him to run against Trump.

Can't believe how no one has pointed out how easily Warren could win in this scenario. Booker and Harris would split the black vote in the early southern primaries, paving the way for Warren to dominate based on more relative appeal and more momentum in the remaining states.

Kamala Harris. She's the best choice. Not too old, smart, charismatic.

I'd start out as a Harris supporter, but I'm open to either of the other candidates.

I think Harris is insanely over-rated & I don't think she should run before 2024 at the very least. I don't support 1st time Senators running after 1-2 years. They always spectacularly fail.

Booker is one of my least favorite Dem Senators, so Harris is #2 by default!

Barack Obama and Warren Harding say hello.

That said, I do agree with this for the most part.

Harding died in 2 years, how can we even judge him?

Obama has been a massive disappointment vis-a-vis his promise. I wouldn't call him a failure but he has spectacularly average. He has been a huge failure with the DNC, DWS & etc - He has to take responsibility for the Dems being on the worst positions in almost a century.

I think Obama being too young did significantly contribute to his mediocre performances.

Harris or Booker.  Warren would lose the General (most Obama-Trump voters in rural areas that dislike Hillary- also dislike Warren). 

I personally really like Hillary... but not that crazy about Warren.

Re Harris- I give her a less than 10% chance of running.  I think she will not want to be seen as not taking her Senate seat serious (but she will be on many VP shortlists)

Other way around, Harris or Warren would be able to court those sanders voters and blue collar voters, Booker wouldn't.

I wasn't saying Harris wouldn't win... just that I don't think she will run.

Warren though, is not as electable as people may think... The people I know in rural NC that voted for Obama- then Trump ... Dislike Warren as much as Hillary (why I'm not exactly sure)

Warren, easily.  Warren is my favorite person in politics, both personally and ideologically.

Booker is problematic politically if preferable to Trump, and Kamala Harris is untested and possibly opportunistic.

I also think this meme that she suffers from the same electability problems as Hillary is massively overblown.  She's no Sanders in terms of her ability to win over hearts and minds, but vis a vis Hilldog, she doesn't have the corruption problem, is a much better speaker, and despite being a little professorial has a decidedly working class edge and has tested surprisingly well in focus groups.

I don't think she's obviously the most or least electable of the three listed - I think you can make persuasive arguments for all three and its currently unclear.

Her main problem is that she'll be a little old by then.
