then he'd have been perfect. from a swing state and swing area, Hispanic, experienced, etc. But since he's not a contender, I'd go with Steve Beshear, gov of Kentucky. Even if Hillary doesn't win there (Bill did twice), she'll have some proximity to Missouri and Arkansas as well as Ohio and Indiana. He's also next to WV, which Bill won by a mile twice. Castro, idk, because he's got no swing states in his proximity but he could boost Hispanic turnout in other swing states.
