For Bernie Voters: Ideal Veep?

[daredtowork]

41. IMHO Bernie has got to pick a woman.

The people who keep proposing men, no matter how great they are, don't seem to get that a lot of HRC's momentum is coming from the female vote and GUILT that we women chose Obama over voting for the first female President the LAST time. We did it because of health care and Obama's seemingly social promise of Hope and Change.

If we vote for Bernie we will be asked to betray the dream of the first female President a SECOND time!!!! Do not underestimate the power of the psychological problem for women en mass. It's like betraying all the work of the women's movement and all our progress. Sure we'd be doing it because Bernie is actually promising to help women more (socially) than HRC (who is giving a lot of lip service to Women with a capital W but will mainly help Women internationally and upper class women who will benefit from Third Way Faux Center policies at home)...but it will feel like a betrayal nonetheless.

That is why Bernie at the very least MUST chose a woman as his VP, and at least put a woman in the line of succession and do everything in his power to put her in a good position to run after his term(s) is/are up.
