She's much more likey to pick Kaine because that also helps in a swing state and he's a moderate so they will actually get along. I really doubt it will be Warren. Castro, Perez and Booker check some demographic boxes so they seem possible. I would love OMalley but I just can't see her going that direction. All Franken - no way. Sanders - no way. My guess is Kaine. Second guess is Booker.

Yes, any of them would make perfectly good VPs. But the Democrats can't afford to give up a senate seat.
