I really don't want Bloomberg to be the nominee, and if he is the nominee, I think he should pick a person of color (preferably also a woman) as his VP, so the ticket is at least somewhat reflective of who we are as a party. Also, if progressives are going to have to suck it up and vote for a Bush-endorsing Republican as our nominee, he could at least throw a bone to them with his VP pick.

I like Amy a lot but I don't want to have an all-white ticket, and I think the ticket should be a balance of the moderate and liberal wings of the party.

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