Nate Silver: "Bernie Sanders is the only candidate with positive favorability rating"

42. I think any democrat can beat Trump

Hillary needs a young VP that can get the crowd engaged. If she brings in one of the Castro brothers she would be unbeatable in the general election.

People cite the 2000/2004 election about how the voters weren't excited about Gore and Kerry. There is reason for that - Gore and Kerry both picked dismal VPs that brought nothing to the table. Obama was the excitement but needed experience which is why he brought someone like Biden in for his ticket. That pairing work. A great Pres/VP ticket has one candidate with the experience combined with one candidate that brings excitement to the ticket (but is well qualified. Palin was suppose to be the 'excitement' but was hardly qualified)

Hillary does have excitement, I'll be happy to campaign for her and equally as much as I would for Sanders or O'Malley. But I think that Hillary needs to learn from 2000/2004 that if she picks a boring VP choice she will lose voters. (Same with O'Malley and even Sanders). We have a great opportunity to reach out to either Hispanic voters or African-American voters with a choice like the one of the Castro brothers or perhaps even Senator Cory Booker. If we ignore minority voters then it will hurt us.
