Harris / Walz

[speak easy]

The same dynamic that won the Midwest for Obama in 2008: The young buck and the old gun (whatever their actual ages). Who called Vance a weirdo first? Why that would be Minnesota governor, Tim Walz.

1. Aren't they the same age? 60?

[ColinC]

15. You couldn't tell by looking at them tho

[True Dough]

2. Waltz minus the T

= Walz.

[speak easy]

5. Fixed. Apple auto correct.

[True Dough]

6. How

do you like them Apples?

[Zoomie1986]

18. I like mine very much, thanks

All auto-correct code will try to correct Walz to waltz, because the latter spelling is far more common than the former. All auto-correct does is offer up the most likely spelling of certain letter combinations, whether or not it's the usage you want.

[True Dough]

20. Thank you for your fried shrimp!

3. Walz is the name...

He's been great for us Minnesotans¡

[Bluethroughu]

4. He's great! We have to many to choose from!

We have the best people.

[Celerity]

7. they are basically the same age (half a year apart), both are last year Boomers (born in 1964)

Harris: Born October 20, 1964

Walz: Born April 6, 1964

[speak easy]

8. but

different generations

[Celerity]

9. they are both from the same generation

10. perception filter

(Doctor Who)

[Celerity]

19. I don't watch Dr Who, never have, sorry, it's not my cuppa

I do know that Walz polls well with my fellow young voters, and David Hogg (amongst others) talks him up for that reason.

[Lulu KC]

17. How so? N/t

[awesomerwb1]

11. Walz looks a lot older than he is.

But I really like his style. Folksy, funny, witty, very eloquent.

[speak easy]

13. " Folksy, funny, witty, very eloquent"

which makes the sting all the harder.

[Nanjeanne]

12. Another great quote from his rally for Kamala

"Let's quit 2 year elections and go to 100 days of butt whipping," says Walz.

"We don't even have to sleep. We can sleep when we are dead."

[speak easy]

14. "100 days of butt whipping"

oh my :blushes:

[BOSSHOG]

27. Cannot recall the philosopher

But one said, I don’t want to die of boredom, I want to die of exhaustion.

[Lulu KC]

16. So interesting that they are about the same age

I don’t think he looks older than his age, but Kamala looks younger. And 50-Latish 60s are wise but energetic years, it seems to me, if your health allows you to experience them fully.
Just my subjective reality.

[LizBeth]

21. Pete or Walz

[Island Blue]

22. I'm really being to like Walz.

I was all in on Cooper (my Gov), but I now think that Walz would be the better choice. I still would love to see Cooper be offered a Cabinet position though.

[LisaL]

23. Yep, it would be a similar dynamic that Obama had with Biden.

Even though Harris and Walz are actually very close in age, Harris looks quite a bit younger than Walz. It's not a lot of time before VP has to be picked, since we have to have a team prior to Aug 7th deadline to get on OH ballot.

[onandup]

24. That kills the youth dynamic

Pass for me

[speak easy]

25. Obama / Biden?

did OK in 2008

[SKKY]

26. If it's not going to be Shapiro, I'm hoping it's Kelly...

...but I'm obviously happy at our embarrassment of riches. I've told a lot of people the Dems have a much deeper bench that it seems, and that's proving out to be reality.
