18. Well, I feel that Xavier Becerra fits that bill really well

Becerra, and Congressman Tim Ryan, were the ones who I viewed as the most strategic out of the leaked short-list from early-June.

Unfortunately, Tim Ryan has completely fallen by the wayside...and Xavier Becerra also has been shunted to the backburner.

Out of Kaine, Perez, and Vilsack -- Perez is the most outgoing, by far.

Kaine is (by his own admission) "boring"...but he's also a "safe" choice.

Vilsack is risky, due to his age and his Monsanto ties.

But I still contend that Secretary Clinton could probably select a mule for her ticket, and it still isn't going to make much difference in terms of either gaining/losing her additional voters.
