A lot of folk were hyping up the potential for Duckworth, but I think it would've been a bit too on-the-nose: Joe Biden and the Class 3 Senator from Illinois four years into their first term on a ticket together, gee whiz folks where have we seen this before? Most of the other main targets of speculation were a bit lacking in national profile to make much of an impact on the dynamics of the ticket, especially in an era where favorite son effects are increasingly irrelevant.
My personal hope was that the other Tammy in the Senate would get the nod, although given the fragility of the current majority it was probably for the best not to take someone with a record of overperforming in a close state from the chamber.
