as a source of what's happening. People who swallow Politico and NYT opinion poison whole have a clearer understanding of Fox's agenda.

And let's not be simplistic about this. That Fox is attacking black women and leaving the three white candidates out does not mean they're trying to engineer a white Democratic running mate. Not hardly! Not when the Republican leadership is trying desperately to find a way to hold onto their shifting electorate.

This is about their ongoing stoking of racial resentments on the left to splinter support away from the Democratic Party, especially if one of the three white women being considered is chosen. Which is a real possibility in spite of the overwhelming media attention to the others.

that the list is quite long, yet they narrowed their focus to these three. I’m sure there’s a reason for it. It’ll come to me...

Fox is following the lead here of powerful Dem conservative commentators such as Axelrod and politicians such as Clyburn who have called for or demanded a woman of color as vp.

It.happens to fit Fox's agenda but the issue was first raised by Dems.

It doesn't take a lot of imagination to guess what kind of crap Fox will dish out next.

1) Rice (or Harris or Bass if that's who Joe picks)
2) Harris (or Rice or Bass if that's who Joe picks)
3) Bass (or Rice or Harris if that's who Joe picks)


yeah - that pretty much sums it up for me.

Oh wait, forgot one...

Whoever the f'ck Joe picks because I trust his judgement, even if at times I may not fully agree with or understand a decision in the moment.
