46. I think she would really transcend the usual geographical questions

She would compliment Biden; I can really see the same relationship Bill Clinton had with Al Gore; they were both southerners but they seemed like they were friends instead of just political allies

I can't imagine Biden not picking a VP with whom he would have a different relationship than he did with Obama.

she got her start in San Francisco politics and you don't win there by being the biggest policy wonk on the block; she's personable and I have friends who know her personally and they love her
