47. I live in the most conservative county in MN.

It overwhelmingly in all parties went for Bernie. I believe it was also the largest margin in the State.

Walz is very much like Bernie and even Wellstone in some ways of appeal. He represents everyone. We know this in MN.

I will continue to say I would sorely miss him here.

Ezra Klein's new podcast has a great interview with Walz. Pinback Aug 2024 #7

Yeah, just finished listening to it. It's a great moonscape Aug 2024 #12

Pelosi didn't want Kamala Harris. She wanted an open primary. ARandomPerson Aug 2024 #8

Is that true or rumor? crimycarny Aug 2024 #10

NYTimes report ARandomPerson Aug 2024 #11

Can't see NYTimes article but saw something similar in Politico crimycarny Aug 2024 #15

now you can Celerity Aug 2024 #38

Thank you crimycarny Aug 2024 #49

I'd go alot farther than that, but I will cool my heels. onecaliberal Aug 2024 #28

Careful. This could be fake news - pressure against Shapiro and flamingdem Aug 2024 #14

Agree--but is Shapiro the only one who can deliver PA? crimycarny Aug 2024 #16

I'd think he's far more likely than anyone else to bring PA oldsoftie Aug 2024 #24

Walz is a much better pick... Nancy's right!! InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2024 #53

Not her decision...but interesting if true. Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #17

I hope that's who they pick. LisaM Aug 2024 #19

He is the perfect candidate for VP. Congressional & executive experience. Emile Aug 2024 #59

Me too! He will be very effective cutting through the bs fog. mahina Aug 2024 #20

Her support probably has a lot to do with her support of House members and Walz was one. He seems to have a Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #21

No. Harris should already win Minn. Shapiro or Kelly should be the pick oldsoftie Aug 2024 #22

VP's delievering states is a very old view of politics now. I think Walz speaks to the working class DFab420 Aug 2024 #23

It may be an old view but PA is a battleground state. She needs those 19 votes. oldsoftie Aug 2024 #25

While it's true she needs the state - I don't understand why she can't win the state with Shapiro campaigning for her. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #30

This 100% crimycarny Aug 2024 #39

Because people will see him as "next up". Campaigning for her isnt the same. oldsoftie Aug 2024 #58

Agreed. yardwork Aug 2024 #42

Walz pattyloutwo Aug 2024 #32

I mean..... democratsruletheday Aug 2024 #48

Good. From the little I've seen, Demobrat Aug 2024 #27

i like him too...hes funny! samnsara Aug 2024 #29

He's my pick, also, since he's turned into a firebrand ;lately Warpy Aug 2024 #31

He's 69! mchill Aug 2024 #33

Who? Tim Walz is 60. ARandomPerson Aug 2024 #35

You might be thinking of Roy Cooper. yardwork Aug 2024 #41

Walz and Kamala are the same age, 60. Both are young. Emile Aug 2024 #45

I stand corrected, but in mchill Aug 2024 #56

A lot comes down to likability pattyloutwo Aug 2024 #34

Samesies! Sky Jewels Aug 2024 #37

I like Kelly better Auggie Aug 2024 #43

I prefer Shapiro or Kelly Galraedia Aug 2024 #44

Wow. The love for Tim Walz is overwhelming. ProudMNDemocrat Aug 2024 #51

Me too. I love the people in Minnesota. My dearest friend Emile Aug 2024 #55

I'll take Walz over Shapiro that's for sure!! InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2024 #52

Nancy has a pretty solid record pattyloutwo Aug 2024 #54

With Nancy support in Congress for Walz, that Emile Aug 2024 #60
