NBC News report on Roy Cooper's chances to be the VP pick. There a few down sides. One which I fear, but is silly of me to do so, would be that if Gov. Cooper is picked and turns out to be a poor choice, then I think that would adversely effect Jeff Jackson's future electoral chances. But, . . ., the combination of Mark Robinson on the ballot for governor, Jeff Jackson on the ballot of AG, running against Dan Bishop, and Roy Cooper as Harris' running might be enough to flip NC to Harris. If Pennsylvania stays blue, even without Shapiro on the ticket, then I like Harris' chances in November. But NC is too much of a long shot to throw away Pennsyvania for an unlikely shot at carrying NC.

I think PA is already voting D. If Dems need Shapiro to win PA they are already screwed.

Vice President Kamala Harris has narrowed her potential list of running mates to three candidates, according to Bloomberg News.

Excellent, these are the best 3 choices

Surprised about Walz, he seems like another old white guy...

I think it's gonna be Kelly.

 

[uncleradar]

Walz is 60, has a terrific resume, and is great at communicating with midwestern voters. I’d read a little about him before you dismiss him.

I expect they would prefer someone perceived as more moderate. Walz is generally considered progressive and Harris already checks those boxes.

You can't cry "future" when the VP candidate would be 71 and 75 at the end of potential Harris terms.

Just did, thanks for the prompt to take a second look. You're right, good resume. And he's funny, has an energetic speaking style... and has a black lab. Thumbs up.

One VP Contender Will Give Kamala Harris Her Best Chance With Swing Voters

He’s one of the rare politicians in the contemporary U.S. who can honestly say he has been a uniter rather than a divider.

As someone said, Which VP candidate will best help us reach the Era of Kamalot?

You can't cry "future" when the VP candidate would be 71 and 75 at the end of potential Harris terms.

I'm pretty sure Jeff Jackson, whose future I was concerned with, will be neither 71 nor 75 at the end of potential Harris terms.

Jeff is like 41!

 

[zeuxis]

Jeff is like 41!

Yes, but we're going to implement Blue Caesar, so by the time Kamala leaves office Jeff will be too old!

Each time I watch and listen to a new Tim Walz clip, I’m impressed.

He’s sharp, comes across as friendly and strong, deals with a complex issue succinctly.

 

[Duke Mu]

I was referring to Cooper and age. Kelly has the key to Kamalot. However, based upon Harris' statement about the mixture of protestors against Bibi, who is obviously delaying signing the Biden peace agreement to stay in power, Shapiro may have an inside track.

 

[farce©]

I think I have come around to a preference for Beshear. He is young, politically agile, and doesn’t leave a hole in a swing state that Republicans might win.

Walz is a good speaker, but looks too old for the campaign to be about the future.
