Has to be a white male so as to send themessage that the glass ceiling has been broken and a woman can be in charge of all those white males in the old boy's club of the power establishment.

I honestly hope it's not him. I'd rather it were Warren as my first preference.

by the person that she picks for VP. I certainly hope it is not another third-way neo-liberal,
I hope she picks someone who is on, or has been on the Congressional Progressive Caucus. This would show me whether or not her aims are truly progressive, or just pointless campaign promises, only geared to get votes.

governors at present.
That would be: Sherrod Brown and Cory Booker, among others.
I like Elizabeth Warren very much, but believe she might be too much of a good thing on the Pres./VP ticket.
Not sold on Perez, and Castro.
Kaine is a good safe choice, though not as dynamic as Brown or Booker. He would probably work well with Hillary in the office of VP.

I sure will miss my favorite VP, Joe Biden. Hope he'll stay available in an advisory capacity.
