12. Remember Scott Brown?

Former senator to Massachusetts. A Republican who won a race against Martha Coakley for the late Ted Kennedy's old seat... A race where she was in the lead but being a D in a heavily blue area didn't help.

While demographics would favour a Democratic replacement for either Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren it isn't always assured like that. Should either or both of these fine senators end up in the President's or Vice President's office, a properly ran campaign for their replacements would need to be run.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
