When Harris makes her VP pick...

[Ocelot II]

27. Some people are bound to be disappointed, but we need to keep in mind

that what we see and what we read about aren't the whole story. We see the 4 or 5 possible choices on TV, we read their resumes, we assume certain things about how they might or might not appeal to certain voters; we assume (mostly incorrectly, considering the historical record) that a particular person is essential to winning a particular state; but what we don't see are the internal polls and certain intangibles - importantly, how comfortable Harris and her staff will feel campaigning with and working with each of them. Are they compatible not only with her policies but with her vibe? Will they present to the public the way she wants the campaign to present? These things are unknowable at this point. I'm going to trust that the choice will be made after careful consideration of factors we know and don't know; I'll be satisfied that it's the best choice even if I'd personally preferred another, and I will immediately order my lawn sign and get busy.
