Democrats Favor Kamala Harris For VP By Wide Margin, Poll Finds
The new poll comes as anti-racist protests across the country have resulted in enormous change, from the removal of confederate monuments to sweeping police reform in dozens of states and localities. Internally, there is a strong push for Biden to pick a black running mate like Harris as an olive branch to the black voters that make up the core of the Democratic party and propelled him to the nomination. One member of Biden’s VP selection committee is Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), a black woman, who reportedly holds much influence in Biden’s decision.
33%. Among Biden’s base, the desire for Harris is even more stark. 33% of Biden’s primary voters said they prefer Harris. Among Sanders voters, arguably the Democratic constituency Biden most needs to win over, Warren is favored by 22% while Harris is at 18%.

She would help in those states being a popular midwestern governor. Also every Michigander knows that Ohio is basically an extension of Michigan or vice versa 
Adding some on from Tennessee is doubling down on one area not adding an area. In 2004, it was explained that Edwards was not chosen for geography, but for personal pluses he showed in the primary.
Both the media and many powerful people in the Democratic party were impressed by Edwards. The media had plenty of articles claiming that the only reason he might not be picked is because Kerry feared being overshadowed by the charismatic Edwards. They never explained why, if he was SO charismatic, Kerry easily defeated him. The good press did lead to polls adding him as VP helping more than others and both Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy praised the idea of adding him. In reality, he was a terrible pick because he was not the engaged Edwards of the primary and he refused to be a team player and was only concerned about how things reflected on him. It is clear he wanted the position just to set himself up for 2008.
This year, like 2004, the person who easily won the nomination is publicly being told he needs the excitement of a good VP pick. In 2008, it was repeated that Kerry advised Obama to pick a 
VP he wanted to have at his side to run the country. I always wondered if that was a bit instinct he wished he would have followed when told by many his best chances were with taking Edwards, who otherwise would not have been his choice.
But maybe not. 
Also you failed to answer my question, and reverted to insults.
People arguing that Kamala shouldn't be the nominee because we needed someone like Joe who would appeal to the white working class in the industrial states.
So Joe's getting the nomination but we're being told that Kamala shouldn't be his running mate because he needs someone who will appeal to the white working class in the industrial states.
Huh? 
Mighty fine list of beautiful and tremendously talented Democratic women!!
