No matter who won, the most important thing to remember is that we all had fun 😊

Who are some people that would genuinely surprise you?  Like a truly out of left field pick?

Anyone who isn’t named Susan Rice or Kamala Harris... maybe add Whitmer to that list.

The NYT says most of the insiders they've spoken with expect a Wednesday announcement, but I think we could get a leak tomorrow night.

He's going to punt on naming a VP and let the delegates nominate someone from the floor of the convention.

This article from the Boston Globe lays out the picks in terms of "what they bring to Biden" rather than ranking them:

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/08/10/metro/most-progressive-expected-swing-state-boosting-biden-vp-picks/

Warren is obviously connected with the "progressive angle." What I find interesting is that they don't have a real good reason for Harris other than that she's "the expected choice" & that, because she hasn't staked out a real policy area, she can switch to whatever Biden "needs." To me, that's really weak reasoning.

If Harris were out of it, then I think the top 2 are Rice & Warren, both strong picks (but I obviously have my favorite!)

Wait, why are we texting "First" when we could just wait all of five seconds and see what's posted on this thread?

He's going to ask everyone to keep it secret from those whose didn't sign up for the text, and we're all going to comply. You'll never know if you don't text, at least not until she's inaugurated president in January 2029.

I just realized: if Biden does indeed announce tomorrow, then it'll definitely be Warren.

He wouldn't announce his VP on the same day she's hosting a high-profile fundraiser for him if it's not her. To do so - to bypass her on a day she's literally working on his behalf - would effectively be a huge slap in the face not only to her, but to all of the people who've supported her.

There needs to be some announcement beforehand along the lines of "it's super duper imminent now!" Otherwise,  might be tough to get to 300 pages before she's announced.

How will Maxine Waters react to a potential Elizabeth Warren pick?
