30. Usually, you strive for all kinds of balance in a ticket.

Also, if you have an older President, you want a younger Vice President (and vice versa).

Two northeastern "liberalest" U.S. Senators well over 60 years of age is not a lot of balance, even if Warren is female.

Remember as well, Warren did sign that letter urging Hillary to run and has not endorsed Sanders, when an early endorsement from her could have done a lot for his candidacy.

Besides, she refused to run for President, despite millions donated to draft her. Why would she run for President?

Finally, I agree. This is not the time to get ahead of ourselves. All kinds of forces want Sanders out of contention. People are not likely to focus on the election before New Year, nor will the debate schedule help them focus--and the first caucus is the end of January, with the first primary coming early in February and Super Tuesday on March 1.

It sounds great but she would be way more effective as a US Senator instead of VP YabaDabaNoDinoNo Sep 2015 #11

Talk about scaring the shit out of the status quo. GoneFishin Sep 2015 #12

She'd be wasted in the VP slot, maybe making Bernie assassination-proof, but providing little else. Scuba Sep 2015 #13
