What criteria do you think Biden should use for his VP pick? My own brainstorming for starters

[UncleNoel]

This is my brainstorming thoughts. My selections would probably rule out candidates without much experience or who were not compatible with Biden's position on the issues. It might also rule out choices on regional demographics. The balance the ticket category is ideological, so a balance the ticket based on certain voter segments (workers appeal, college educated, etc.) might be added by some folks.



So any thought on these or other criteria?

1. Experience at the federal government level. There's a huge mess to clean up

“Ready to take over” may include that, but I am not sure.

2. Institutional infrastructures have been dismantled or destroyed. Who has the

experience and vision to take on that heavy but necessary load?

3. I don't buy into the "pick the vp to gain a regional advantage" construct

There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

4. Where is Torajiro Sato

Intelligence, honesty, compassion, ethics, morals and elect-ability.

It is not a beauty contest, we need someone who can lead when something happens to Biden.
