HCR will pick either Martin O'Malley or Jim Webb as her VP.
Jeb "Shithead" Bush will pick Rob Portman or Mike Pence as his VP.

I like what he says, but would have to see him on the campaign trail before committing to him. Vermont does not equal most places in the US.

Not that he has anything to do with this, because the OP confuses Bernie Sanders with Barney Frank but Barney is just 4 years older than Hillary and just 6 older than Elizabeth Warren, a former Republican who I am told all the youth voters love...

Mom (living in New Mexico) says there's a lot of controversy around some of the Governor's husband's business dealings and he's not quite on the up and up.

Worse than the various Rose Law Firm controversies would be for Ms. Clinton, (should the pubbies try to drag that Clinton baggage out of the dumpster).
