My gut says Harris will be (and should be) the VP pick, but she's not without a couple flaws.

14. It's not that Harris comes across as a prosecutor

It's her record as an over-zealous prosecutor that could be a problem with the very constituency she is supposed to fire up. A presidential campaign is not the time to start major damage control over a record that can't be erased. Republicans will exploit this with our own constituency. It may have a hell of a ring to it, but it makes little sense to me.

If I were Joe Biden, I wouldn't forget her eager role in trashing Al Franken, either (I know, the over-eager prosecutor thing again). What she couldn't accomplish in the primaries, she could try by finding some reason she would "regretfully have to urge her good friend Joe Biden to step down," a very convenient path to a presidency the voters clearly showed in the primaries that they didn't want. Same goes for Warren, by the way. Biden's only protection is that he will probably indicate an intention to serve only one term, and, hopefully, will choose Secretaries of State and Treasury with the smarts and the energy to refloat the sunken ships of our foreign and economic policy. He owes it to the country to consider those positions at least as carefully as his VP pick.

Like the pandering editorial pundits of late, Amy Klobuchar has added her voice to who "should" be Biden's VP pick. I hope he doesn't listen. His VP pick should be the best one for the campaign and for the job. The only color I want to hear about is BLUE.
