Walz — Comer Opens Congressional Investigation of Walz trips to China

I'm a 75 year old Southern white man, born and raised in Rocky Mount, NC, and I'd be perfectly fine with a Harris-Whitmer ticket. Let women run things for a while. But, sadly, I'm afraid I am in the minority with that position.

A women, much less a Black women has never won it Well it looks like we jumped that hump-but lets not "double dare" with two women-because it is a few thousand votes here and there that count
I am not paraphrasing you-just giving my two bits
(and yes a Woman should run the NCAA)
 
My preference is Kelly, but also have to consider how important PA is in a path to victory. If Shapiro makes that more likely, maybe it’s the smarter move.
 
I kinda like minn Tim Waltz if people are afraid of Shapiro's Israel/Hamas attack points. Might be too liberal? But he's got some personality...

He's one of most active and productive liberals in the country, and in Minnesota he's managed to pass a constitutional right to abortion, three months of paid family leave, paid sick leave, universal free school meals, legal cannabis, free public college, automatic voter registration and red-flag laws for gun purchases, all with a slim majority in the state government. He has a military background and had a career in education as well. For progressives, he’d drive turnout, but he opens a lot of attack lines from Republicans.

From my perspective (that perspective being relatively ignorant / not a political junkie, and going off of one week's worth of first impression) - Kelly looks like the man for the job.
 
Saw where Beshear is in Iowa today for a Dem convention. Like the idea of giving top VP candidates a "test" appearance to see how they interact with the audience and KH. I think the question with Beshear is whether his obvious political retail skills translate outside KY.
My late wife was from Johnstown, PA so I know from experience that through PA leans Democratic, it is also fairly complicated since a decent portion of the usual Dem voters are somewhat "old school." Harris IMO will need some help to lock up PA and does that require Shaprro on the ticket? He has harshly criticized Netanyahu as well so I think concern over ME is overblown in his case.
Some pundits have said KH is looking for: 1) younger than her, 2) fills in her personal and political gaps, ie perhaps someone slightly more conservative and folksy, 3) executive experience as she wants a "governing partner." If true, that likely means a governor.

This poll number for Shapiro in PA certainly is eye-opening

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.
