CA is a safe bet, dem gov and plenty of Dems who are ready to step up to a Senate seat. (Ted Lieu would be my choice.)

Massachusetts has a republican governor, but the appointment would only last until the special election as required by state law. We'd probably have to deal with a republican for the short term. I think Deval would run any republican out of that seat.

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