True, she wasn't my first pick, but I see a tremendous amount of good from this team.

She screams "mental balance" and clear-eyed reason. And her cutting sense of humor and lowkey sarcasm will be most welcome in this battle against Trump.

OK ananda May 2020 #1
I like her but she doesnt bring any strengths he doesn't already have. mahina May 2020 #2
Lookin' fer a fight, are ye? nolabear May 2020 #4
Nope, not for a second mahina May 2020 #5
Actually I like Amy a lot but I don't think she's the right choice either. nolabear May 2020 #13
I like Amy, too, but she doesn't bring anything to the table. MurrayDelph May 2020 #37
She will be Biden's Tim Kaine Bettie May 2020 #39
I was going to say the same Marrah_Goodman May 2020 #68
I agree with you. I also like her, but they are from the same "lane". nt Atticus May 2020 #6
we don't want a left leaning VP ...not with Georgia and Arizona in play. Demsrule86 May 2020 #53
Would Susan Rice not be supported in those states? nt Atticus May 2020 #57
It can't be Susan Rice because of the Benghazi bullshit. Demsrule86 May 2020 #61
So, we are letting Republicans veto qualified Democrats? No way. nt Atticus May 2020 #63
I'd love to see her as VP mahina May 2020 #90
I agree. Baitball Blogger May 2020 #7
Not my #1 but her main add on (outside of gender) is 30 years. essme May 2020 #45
Yeah I have to agree PatSeg May 2020 #49
Amy is great and helps in moderate states like Arizona and Georgia. Demsrule86 May 2020 #52
AZ doesn't need help. Biden is up and so is Kelly. We're looking good. Vivienne235729 May 2020 #83
Well it is tough KentuckyWoman May 2020 #75

Klobuchar would send the message of ultra stability. Mike 03 May 2020 #9
wow, I don't think that way at all. nt Grasswire2 May 2020 #12
Well, please tell me what you think about it. Mike 03 May 2020 #16
It's just my personal thought. Grasswire2 May 2020 #24
Thanks. I do agree. I think I took the OP to mean Biden had made his choice when Mike 03 May 2020 #28
Good Dem, Mike. Grasswire2 May 2020 #47
TOTALLY Agree! nt Raine May 2020 #14
the message she'd tell minorities and progressives qazplm135 May 2020 #17
Well I said she's not my first choice. Mike 03 May 2020 #19
it's just vetting qazplm135 May 2020 #25
Thank you. I know, I should have read the article first. Mike 03 May 2020 #32
I'm sure the Klobuchar camp is happy to have any support. Grasswire2 May 2020 #48
Exactly! smirkymonkey May 2020 #20
+1 Got the center; need to branch out a smidge to the left. lagomorph777 May 2020 #36
No, we need to reach out to red and purple states... this is not a Demsrule86 May 2020 #64
Wait a sec.... SlogginThroughIt May 2020 #71
Same here. MelissaB May 2020 #51
I love her ability to rusty fender May 2020 #92
No, just no. smirkymonkey May 2020 #11

Hey, it could be Amy, though I think that would be a fatal VP decision. There's always Tim Kaine. TheBlackAdder May 2020 #26
She'd be Tim Kaine v. 2.0. smirkymonkey May 2020 #29
No it wouldn't. Amy is great. And quit sniping at Tim Kaine Demsrule86 May 2020 #56
I'm sick of giving moderate states a pass, when the ones that Warren ran in, she did well. TheBlackAdder May 2020 #67
Yep. Not a wise choice. GoCubsGo May 2020 #33
Amy would be fine with me...I don't care who he chooses. Demsrule86 May 2020 #58
She could bring the Midwestern vote. MelissaB May 2020 #50
I just don't think she's going to bring anyone in who isn't already planning to vote smirkymonkey May 2020 #66
Amy was my first choice for Pres, but DrToast May 2020 #18
I think Harris would be a great choice as well. smirkymonkey May 2020 #22
I disagree...I don't think Harris would be good in Demsrule86 May 2020 #59
Bad move - not how you mobilize the progressives womanofthehills May 2020 #21
Joe inspires the Black vote. And a progressive choice won't help us win the states Demsrule86 May 2020 #62
I want Joe Biden to pick who ever gives him the best chance of winning Snake Plissken May 2020 #23
then that (and I agree that beating Rump is the key criteria) is why she's arguably the worst choice Celerity May 2020 #35
Yeah, she's not my choice either. Turin_C3PO May 2020 #42
Harris, Abrams, Lujan Grisham Celerity May 2020 #44
+1. This is not the 90s - Hillary picked Kaine with that mentality radius777 May 2020 #70
Excellent summary rusty fender May 2020 #93
because it worked so well when her name was Tim Kaine jcgoldie May 2020 #27
I wish they would stop using "contenders" instead of "candidates" This is not a game. niyad May 2020 #30
+1 nt KentuckyWoman May 2020 #76
Klobuchar would be an absolutely horrific choice for VP LonePirate May 2020 #31
Well said eleny May 2020 #34
WI, MI, & PA jcgoldie May 2020 #40
She thinks med for all is "fantasyland" lame54 May 2020 #43
I agree. Nt ecstatic May 2020 #55
We don't want a candidate who excites the so called progressive wing... Demsrule86 May 2020 #60
what progressive wing of the party? SlogginThroughIt May 2020 #72
I like her but not enough to be his running mate. sprinkleeninow May 2020 #38
Senator Harris would be a really good pick. roamer65 May 2020 #41
Yes, I do believe. sprinkleeninow May 2020 #77
I like Senator Harris's energy level. roamer65 May 2020 #78
Watching Sen. Harris on Lawrence O'Donnell right now. sprinkleeninow May 2020 #81
Actually not Trumpocalypse May 2020 #85
Still hoping it'll be Kamala. n/t Totally Tunsie May 2020 #46
weak in my opinion RT Atlanta May 2020 #54
Too safe, and I would have wanted to court the black vote. lindysalsagal May 2020 #65
How is the progressive vote a lock but the black voting block isn't? SlogginThroughIt May 2020 #73
HRC didn't get the black turnout that Obama did. Fact. lindysalsagal May 2020 #91
One of several women AnnieBW May 2020 #69
Whitmer is a no go right now SlogginThroughIt May 2020 #74
I'd like to have her 2 terms then she can run for Senator Stabenow's seat. roamer65 May 2020 #79
I would love to see Dana Nessel in the US Senate someday, she impressed the hell out of me the way Celerity May 2020 #82
I think she would make a great Governor Nessel. roamer65 May 2020 #84
Oh, I thought I read somewhere that after this next term (so in 2026) he maybe would retire Celerity May 2020 #87
Sorry but no vercetti2021 May 2020 #80
Sorry Amy but I'm a no. ❤ nt littlemissmartypants May 2020 #86
