Jamie Gangel on CNN on VP ticket names. Personally Mark Warner (Va) is great choice

[underpants]

The announcement was a surprise to the Harris camp.

Top 4 names

Gov. Beshear
Sen. Mark Kelly
Gov. Cooper
Gov. Shapiro

Not surprising list but when Jamie speaks I listen.

[Self Esteem]

1. Warner is a bad choice. Tim Kain all over again.

[Jilly_in_VA]

11. Nope, nope, and nope

There are worlds of difference between them! You are most likely not from VA or you would know. Warner is a right of center Dem and I only voted for him because of the (D). Can't stand the guy. Tim Kaine is a good guy and the real deal. I don't care whether you like him or not. He still mostly lives in the house where he did in Richmond, belongs to the same mostly-Black Catholic church he always did and sings in the choir when he's home, and is a social justice guy, slightly left of center. His wife is a sweetheart too.

19. I don't discount Kaine is a good guy. He brought nothing to the ticket in 2016, tho.

[Jilly_in_VA]

22. Warner would bring less

I don't think you understand how cordially disliked he is, even among his constituents. We put up with him because he's a Democrat and nobody better has run against him. He's like former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who is the main reason Glenn Dumbkin is governor now.

2. I think she should (and will) hold Mark Warner's early attacks on Biden against him.

8. I agree n/t

[BeyondGeography]

3. Not a beltway VP, not this time

FFS!

Look at all the talent we have at the gubernatorial level including battleground states like PA and MI. The last Governor who made it to the White House was Clinton and he wa pretty damned good.

The thing about AG’s like Shapiro in PA (he was elected Governor last year) and Governors like Whitmer is they have hands-on experience working with Trump in a crisis and being targeted by him so their critiques not only carry extra weight but are much more interesting to listen to than any DC politician.

4. Shapiro, Kelly, and Beshear would all be great

I like Shapiro the best.

[Joe Cool]

5. Josh Shapiro is the best choice

He wraps up PA and then forced Vance to stay in Ohio more than he planned to do so.

6. Mark Cuban

-billions in liquid cash to support the ticket.
-Washington outsider
-Tecnocrat/creative thinker/smart AF
-Reality TV star to piss off Trump
-Would have us winning in a landslide.

Swing for the fences

14. I hadn't thought about Mark Cuban

He would be an interesting choice. He doesn't do much for battle ground states but he's a very successful entrepreneur. And he's quite good in front of the camera. And he's known.

The question is can someone like Mark Cuban be a VP? He's used to being in charge, so he probably wouldn't be interested.

17. He's also Available at the moment

Harris is such a political insider, it would be a perfect ticket to bring a well-known outsider.

Every working class white guy in the country knows who he is from his show, or from sports.

21. Gross. No.

[Sogo]

7. Who is Jamie Gangel?

[underpants]

15. Old salt at CNN

Lots of contacts. I heard an insider at NPR say the same.

[W_HAMILTON]

9. Abso-fucking-lutely not to Warner.

No one that had their knives out for Biden should be rewarded now.

NONE OF THEM.

[Sunsky]

10. Not Warner

I don't believe any of the dissenters should be elevated. I like Shapiro. Beshear is needed in Kentucky and Cooper in NC.

[Sneederbunk]

12. Can't afford to lose a senator.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

13. Mark Warner will be 70 in December.

[Wicked Blue]

16. Bernie!

[still-prayin4rain]

18. I like Mark Kelly for the swing states. nt

[mcar]

20. No to Warner. First Biden backstabber.

[Nimble_Idea]

23. Warner is done on a national level

unless he manchins up and goes ind/repuke.
