on any of that shite, harder than Pete himself.

Other pluses: age balance. Pete brings a focus on voting reform and climate change.

EDIT: I also think Pete’s calm, thoughtful explanations could take the sting out of Pocahontas.

Stacy Abrams would be a good choice, between the two they could get the base fired up and with really good turnout, maybe carry some states dems don't usually win. Getting the "Obama bump" back would seal the win.

Not because I don't like him, but because we'd get some ass-circus reich winger as his senate replacement in Ohio

I like Bulloch (MT) because he's a governor, Buttieg are possibilities

Cheri Bustos Congresswoman from IL I think would be good on any ticket

I think he is a little more conservative than Cory but they could make it work. They both are really smart and like to quote scripture. Booker needs a running mate who can help in the midwest and rust belt.
