It's going to be Mark Warner.

Americans are yearning for technocratic sensuality.

Unless the edit was removed, I found no evidence of that in the edit history of her page. Possible troll.

And? Do we know what the edit was?

Biden's Digital Director follows both Harris and Warren, btw.

God, I'm just so thankful it's not gonna be Elizabeth Warren. You guys have no idea how relieved I am. That would have been a Palin-tier disaster.

I've seen this take on here for Warren, Bass, Rice, Demings, even Duckworth

[wbrocks67]

I have a feeling that it will be Susan Rice even though I support Kamala. Biden will confide in his closest advisers (his wife Jill & his sister Valerie).

Jill apparently is still hesitant about Kamala because of the debates last year and Valerie doesn't like Kamala at all. Biden's team likes Susan Rice and so do Jill & Valerie. Also, Joe might not want to be "outshined" by his VP. It sucks but it is what is.

I think that Susan Rice is one of the worst possible VP picks but ultimately it's up to Joe. It's his decision alone and there's nothing any of us can do about it.

You literally just made all of this up???

The circlejerk of hate here for Rice is bizarre and irrational. I’m almost hoping she gets it now just to spite you all.

She has some liabilities maybe (“BENGHAZI!!!”), but is certainly skilled and experienced enough for the job. She is not a “hack,” nor does the fact that she is a “millionaire” matter — so is Biden, and so is (GASP) Bernie!

Plus, it’s not necessarily a bad thing that she has no electoral experience. Maybe someone who isn’t going to overshadow Biden and be campaigning for her own presidency from day one could be for the best?

Quiet you. Only Harris hated is bizarre & irrational and clearly based on racism & sexism. Whereas Rice hatred isn't irrational because it's purely based on the truth and nothing to do with racism & sexism. Perhaps Rice just needs to stay in her place among the elites?



(In all seriousness, my preferred choice isn't Rice but I agree with you 100%)

[wbrocks67]

Wikipedia edits mean nothing. If they did, then Harris is the pick b/c hers was edited weeks ago.

Interesting but I'm not sure it's relevant.

Worthy read for the seemingly clear-eyed, honest take that's been so absent in the media's recent Veepstakes coverage:

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/08/how-the-final-stretch-of-bidens-vp-search-is-playing-out.html

The best quote:

"A week ago, I would've said it's Kamala versus the field, then I would've said Karen Bass has it won. Now, I think it's Susan or Kamala," said one senior Democrat close to Biden and some of his top aides. He then paused and admitted he didn't actually know much at all. "Who's in the hunt? We have no idea how one through five goes." He paused again. "We have no clue."

That Bass is still in the top 5 shows how foolish these rankings are

Bass above Warren lmao

Bass and Duckworth above Warren is downright idiotic

No, I didn't. I'm going based off of articles that have come out in the past month.

Of course, I hope that those articles are wrong or just baseless speculation. However, even though I support Kamala, it does seem like some in Bidenworld don't like her for various reasons (largely superficial).

[America Needs R'hllor]

By the way folks, I had a dream that it's Duckworth a while ago. So if it's her I'm taking full credit

[Holmes]

The Duckworth wiki edit doesn’t mean that it’s her but it definitely means she’s in strong contention.

Chris Cillizza is a moron.

Evergreen post.

P.S. What's all this sh**t about Whitmer's self-inflicted wounds during the coronavirus crisis? The only reason she was no longer considered among the favorites was the fact that after Floyd's death it became almost imperative for Biden to pick a black woman.

Cillizza never seems to know what he's talking about.
