Personality also matters in my choice of politicians.
And a Biden /Sanders ticket would both content :

1) Progressive socialists Democrats

2 ) And more centrists liberals who still dont want a HRC presidency for various reason.

Balance the ticket with a woman and the midwest.

OR

Biden/Duckworth - Illinois. Let Andrea Zopp have the Senator run.

Though I'm torn as I love her in the Senate, too.

Would that be a tough seat to hold if she ended up being the VP?

with 3rd in line for the presidency being John Boehner.

If Biden wins the nod, expect a younger woman or minority male to be the VP pick.

Seriously? Do you really think the only reason people are supporting Bernie is because Biden isn't in the race?
I'm starting to think that we may have our Wes Clark for 2016...prepare for the invasion of the Biden barkers.

You do realize, economically he is to the right of Hillary? Yet you would support him for President? You have absolutely trashed Hillary on her economic vision, yet here you are promoting someone of the exact same economic cloth, possibly even more right.

Biden, Hillary and Sanders kick ass. I see you are moving to the "center". Be careful. You have often labeled us as evil, yet here you are.

In my opinion, Sanders would be much more beneficial to the party as a Senator, over that of a VP as you are promoting.
