Chuck Todd finally made a good point about the Veep pick.

Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown will have more power in a Democratic Senate where they can introduce legislation and vote on SUPREME COURT JUDGES than they would sleeping in the Old Navel Observatory.

1. This is a very important point

that Progressives need to focus on. The maneuvering for this was correct.

[leftofcool]

2. Not to mention that Tim Kaine is strong on gun control

That can be his baby while he is VP.

3. And i'm one of at least a dozen DUers who have been saying that here for months.

[awake]

4. Point taken

While I was hoping for Warren she will be verry powerful in the Senate

[Stellar]

5. I heard him say that too.

and I think he said that Warren would have more star power than she would, right?

[blue neen]

6. Agreed.

It was nice to hear Chuck say something positive for a change!

[LiberalFighter]

7. Get Russ Feingold and a few others to get the majority.

Evan Bayh is likely to win in Indiana but I don't consider him to be a Progressive. He is way to the right of Clinton.

[RandySF]

8. This is how I look at things

Evan Bayh is what I always called a "majority-builder". He may not be much use, but he helps Pay Leahy become Judiciary Chairman, which ensures that our SCOTUS nominees get through.
