Sherrod Brown/Amy Klobuchar would be a very strong presidential ticket. [View all]

I like all the candidates, and its early, but I bet Klobuchar and Brown DO run as both are thinking very strongly about it.

With these two we have two midwesterners who have broad appeal. We need fresh faces in presidential politics.

We need to win in the heartland. It would be very risky to nominate an east or west coaster. Brown just won re-election comfortably in Ohio that is otherwise majority Republican right now. And he bridges social liberals with working class economic populists. His main message is all about working people, the kind of strong populist economic message that we need. And I really like Klobuchar. I put Brown at the top of the ticket because of the strong and clear working/middle class economic message and being from Ohio which is such strategic ground whereas MN is more likely already in the D column. But if we can take OH, Trump and R's are TOAST.
