Jim Himes for President?

Congressperson Jim Himes appeared on Colberts show last night. I thought he performed well. Good communicator, well informed, charismatic, Rhodes Scholar, solid D and a Biden supporter. He might make a good candidate for president or VP one day. The only drawback is that he’s from CT, which is not a swing state.

Senator Chris Murphy. After Biden's 2nd term, I think he'd be a great candidate.

And have volunteered for Chris' campaign since he was a state rep. Ned has been terrific!
