Any of the 4 would be good. I think they are doing extra vetting. From an overall messaging standpoint I like the Marine pilot and NASA astronaut MArk Kelly. Walz is the new Explainer in Chief. Beshear is the most folksy but laser focused.Whether it's fair or not is certainly up for debate, but essentially the only way that the Democratic Party can give itself a good chance to win the Electoral College is by running toward the center. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama both did it twice and won, and now Kamala can signal that she plans on doing the same by adding someone like Josh Shapiro to the ticket. It's just good retail politics, especially when you are so reliant upon garnering support from disaffected conservatives/Republicans and from moderate swing voters in battleground states in order to win. Progressives have never, IMO, shown that they can be counted on to turnout in the kind of numbers required to win a national general election.
As I've said, though, I'll be thrilled with any of Shapiro, Walz, Kelly, or Beshear. I think that all four have an overwhelming number of positive attributes that far outweigh any negatives or weaknesses that each may have. I just happen to think that Shapiro may be the *best* candidate to draw a wider variety of constituencies that reside toward the ideological center.
Same, especially with announcement being in Philly.Hope it is Walz, thinking it is Shapiro.
Ahhh thats an interesting thought. Having Shapiro for the short burst campaign better than people getting to know Walz.I think Walz would probably be the VP in a normal process but the shortened timeline favors Shapiro
Bernie Bros fit that description, to some extent.ZooView above claimed the prize to lefties wasn’t defeating Trump but burning down the Democratic Party. I just don’t really know who he’s referring to.
And ,La brings the Name recognitionIf it is Walz or Shapiro, I’m hoping for Walz but would understand picking Shapiro as make/break as PA is for Harris.
I just don’t see anything I don’t like with Walz, other than lack of name recognition.
Yeah, I think if the rumors are true that Harris is down to Walz and Shapiro, it is a total win – win situation for the campaign. With either of those two guys, the start of the campaign has been about a 100 on a scale of 1 to 10.If it is Walz or Shapiro, I’m hoping for Walz but would understand picking Shapiro as make/break as PA is for Harris.
