Here is what I think Hillary's VP final list will be and SHOULD be: [View all] RBInMaine Jun 2016 OP

Why do we need gender balance on the ticket? leftofcool Jun 2016 #1

I hear you, but political reality is political reality. Also, no regional balance. We'll win MA. RBInMaine Jun 2016 #2

That should piss off the "240" feminists. Nice job. TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #10

No one is out to piss off anyone. This is reality. And regardless of the gender factor, there are RBInMaine Jun 2016 #15

Try telling that to them - TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #42

Why are you so sure "gender" and "regional" balance Hortensis Jun 2016 #19

You're comparing apples to oranges. Here is why: RBInMaine Jun 2016 #22

McCain losing with Palin does not explain Hortensis Jun 2016 #23

Mixed gender tickets never win here. immoderate Jun 2016 #29

Interesting thought. They "don't." :) Hortensis Jun 2016 #35

Men are not going to vote for Hillary because there's a guy in John Poet Jun 2016 #26

I agree with this. Adrahil Jun 2016 #32

Don't be convinced we can hold Warren's seat LoverOfLiberty Jun 2016 #28

Almost agree... Mike Nelson Jun 2016 #3

One point to consider is who Clinton feels she can work with. ucrdem Jun 2016 #4

Kaine is a dreary choice, and I wouldn't worry about the map this time BeyondGeography Jun 2016 #5

Always have to be concerned about the map. Warren excites the left wing but doesn't bring much else. RBInMaine Jun 2016 #13

Kaine is very smart, very qualified, from VA, and has strong ties to the Hispanic community. But, RBInMaine Jun 2016 #21

He's a safe choice BeyondGeography Jun 2016 #24

He's also the most conservative choice on her list. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #34

Won't be Sherrod Brown; we won't risk the Senate. brooklynite Jun 2016 #6

Understand the analysis, but not sure conventional wisdom matters this year. Hoyt Jun 2016 #7

Is there a union leader our there with background and business experience? glennward Jun 2016 #8

Perez. Kaine and the others would guarantee a +1 R Senate pickup in 2017. eom LLStarks Jun 2016 #9

Maybe. But he's had some controversy. I'd sooner go with Beccara. RBInMaine Jun 2016 #18

Becerra is my choice but being from CA diminishes his chances. LonePirate Jun 2016 #31

Kaine has a Dem governor that would appoint his replacement. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #36

Kaine and Ryan are terrible on abortion nt geek tragedy Jun 2016 #11

You can't get perfection. Think big picture. RBInMaine Jun 2016 #12

Ummm, women's civil rights is definitely part of the big picture nt geek tragedy Jun 2016 #14

And Hillary already brings plenty of that. We need a more balanced ticket. There are other voters. RBInMaine Jun 2016 #16

I'd go with Sherrod Brown if not for the fact that Kasich gets to replace him. YouDig Jun 2016 #17

Yeah, Brown's a good choice but for that Senate vacancy problem. RBInMaine Jun 2016 #20

Sherrod Brown would be replaced by a repuke. cali Jun 2016 #25

I honestly have never had a VP choice sway my vote. SheilaT Jun 2016 #27

New Jersey would have a special election... not a permanent appointment. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #33

Booker really turned me off with his defense of Bain Capital in 12. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #38

It will be difficult for Hillary to please everyone. NurseJackie Jun 2016 #40

Brown is my choice. While I like others better, he is the best choice politically. nt eastwestdem Jun 2016 #37

Delaware was a solid-blue Dem lock, but Biden still worked out very well for President Obama. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #39

as much as I love Sherrod and Elizabeth DonCoquixote Jun 2016 #41
