At this point, I'm changing my VP preference like 10x a day.

It's basically a continuous loop between Harris, Warren, Duckworth, and Rice for me. I also really like Keisha Lance Bottoms, but not sure if she's still in it.

The bottom line is that we have an embarrassment of riches in our party, and I'm going to be crazy excited no matter who gets the nod.

That we have no say in the matter. It will be announced when it is and the individual chosen will be whoever is the one selected by Biden.

If we are limited to only those things that we control this board will be very vacant...

Really is an embarrassment of riches. I still lean Warren, but I’ve been fickle. Day to day, I have been excited about each of them. Stacey Abrams is fantastic, too. And around and around I go. Haven’t felt any need to be pushy about it, as I think Biden’s team is savvy enough to read who will suit the moment.

She has moved into third choice above Whitmer, who was trending yesterday.

I still prefer Rice then Demings. Or Whitmer if we're focusing on best chance to win 2024.

is whoever will make the strongest ticket against Trump in November.

I have no other considerations or criteria.

This is a 50 state race within the construct of the electoral college.

The ticket that gives the best chance at prevailing within these parameters is all that matters at this point.

and she says she thinks Biden still pick the one that is her personal favorite. While she didn't say who her favorite was many know that's its Kamala Harris.

I'm not persuaded that Benghazi wouldn't potentially still have legs, and I think the Trumper son could be a real problem.

me that it should be a woman of color (we both love Elizabeth Warren, though, still). We can't pick: there are too many great women to choose from.
