Geez, how silly to think Bernie wouldn't realize that it is inappropriate for a VP to Vattel Jul 2016 #6

I like Brown and O'Malley as well.

I watched Kaine with Clinton today. He isn't charismatic but he seems very dependable and capable. Maybe that is what she is looking for. We don't know.

Is Vilsack considered a front-runner now? He is even more un-exciting than Kaine.

(I hope this isn't considered bashing democrats! I am just talking about "wow factors" here, not qualifications.)

she can't control Bernie. Just image Bernie having a disagreement with her about something and calling a press conference in the Rose garden to vet his grievance.

She needs to either choose Perez or Warren to make the contrast with Trump/Pence stark. Kaine speaking spanish is a plus but it doesn't have to optic punch Hillary needs.
