Leader who is a woman of color would be a winning ticket.

I've read that Biden says the kind of VP he would choose.. someone who basically supports his agenda. Not always of course.. he and President Obama had disagreements.

But then, I'm biased, living in GA. I also like Harris as VP, but really think we need her in the Senate even more. Actually gives her more leverage, IMO

I love Amy. Would love her to advance some and Al be given he seat.

But Biden/Amy seems (oh I hate saying) kinda boring.

That being said, I’d trust them both with my life and my last cent. Which may be pretty close to what happens.

Love Katie Porter.

Biden may not be progressives' favorite, but voters at large -- including Independents and borderline Repugs -- will find him more palatable than most of the other candidates. And Klobuchar seems even more moderate. And regionalism does play a role.

is they are all Senators and we cannot afford to lose a Senate seat if we stand a chance to win the majority in the Senate.

Two 70 years olds would be a difficult sell. Heck, one candidate in their 70's is a hard sell to me.

I would look for someone from the Midwest to the Rockies. A Governor would be good.

One issue of many, Hillary had last time was picking another East coaster as VP.

split convention. Picking her courts trouble with the left progressives. A Stacey Abrams-type would be far more unifying at multiple levels.

I hope this is not a case of moderates trying to co-opt a term. Amy's environmental record is pretty bad. There is a reason why she does well in her red locale.
