Could a moderate like Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky succeed on a national ticket?

If not at the top of the ticket, as the VP nominee?

I read that he may be the most popular Governor in the entire country?

It seems the Democrats might be wise to use that to their advantage?

1. Use the popularity, maybe.

The voters we need aren't between the 40 yard lines, though.

2. During the worst of the pandemic, the difference between the governors of KY and TN,

is like the difference between night and day. Governor Beshear worked tirelessly to save lives. Governor Lee worked to pander to his right-wing, anti-vaxxer, anti-masking voter base.

3. Governors of Southern states have done well. I have been thinking about him

4. I believe we all vote for moderate Dems - isn't Joe Biden a moderate?

Gov. Beshear has a great reputation among other Democrats, it's true. However a successful Presidential candidate needs to go beyond the Party and appeal to independents and even a few stray Repukes whenever possible.

5. I think he would do very well

We have a strong group of governors, anyone of whom would make a great presidential candidate.

6. I could support a Newsom/Beshear ticket in 2028

Or 2024 if Joe doesn't run again (but I hope and think he will).

7. That would be a great ticket.
