An embarrassment of riches

I was talking to a friend about potential VP picks today, and we were unable to pick a favorite. None of the top contenders made us go "eh" or "meh," let alone "ugh."

It occurred to me then just how lucky we Democrats are that there are so many great options. I've had so much fun learning about the different potential VP candidates, and what they mean to their respective states. I'm excited to see who Kamala picks!

that he will be chosen on the basis of the factors most likely to help win and govern, some of which we might not even be aware of, and I can't reasonably second-guess that choice because they are all so good.

it's because they are all outstanding, although a potted plant would be better than JD Fucking Vance
