Cooper's never lost an election.

Won governor in an otherwise red state at the time,

Was in his final term as governor.

Effectively got the endorsement of former DNC chair Howard Dean a couple of days ago.

Has been campaigning with Harris.

Give you balance by being from the Atlantic seaboard, the south, and a swing state.

I think this is the guy.

There is a very good chance.
 
When I find myself in times of trouble, Kamala Harris comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted Bidens living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be
And when the polls are cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Kamala Harris comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Should all of this been in green font......Words of wisdom from the master of the word salad....sure
 
When she was nominated for VP 4 years ago, Randy Rainbow composed Kamala to the tune of Camelot.
Find myself singing it.
I think convention will open nominations. Anyone who wants to can throw hat in ring. And she will be nominated overwhelmingly, possibly by consensus.
Last week Harris met with Republican women, hosted by former Mike Pence aide Olivia Troye who worked for Pence because she was in her words pro life. But doesn't like what has happened with extreme bans. Harris talked of faith and abortion and how they need not contradict, that women could consult with their clergy person and based on faith could make a decision to keep a pregnancy but it must be her personal and faith decision and not government overreach.
 
The woman who had 0 delegate votes in the primary of 2020? I think they are posturing support for Harris but are going to run Hillary again.
 
Mark Kelly mentioned as running mate along with Roy Cooper, outgoing governor of North Carolina. More emphasis on South and Southwest.

I think Cooper is too old (not too old to do the job, too old to be an optimal candidate). I'm not impressed with Kelly's public speaking abilities.

I think I prefer Shapiro, or Mayor Pete, or Whitmer. Not that what I prefer matters, of course.

I identify as politically non binary. But...

Harris is going to make Trump look smart. Harris has a room temperature IQ.

Is that really a rule?

Yes. Besides, no point. She will win California.
Shapiro mentioned along with Kentucky governor. Kentucky not a swing state so that would be more demographic.
Gun violence big issue with young voters and with Kelly it's family.
Act Blue reports $27.5 million in small donor contributions in five hours.

And you back this opinion up with.... a Tulsi Gabbard video???

What, you couldn't find something more unbiased, like a Trump Jr. clip?

That was the kindest video about Harris's qualifications, I could find. Harris is being feed to the wolves.
 
I like Tulsi. Sort of embarrassing that she is doing YouTube algorithm bait videos now. Thought she would end up with a chair when the music stopped. No such luck.

Can't. Candidates from the same state can't share a ticket.

I suppose if he resigned to run that could happen though.

That's actually a misnomer.

There are many misconceptions about the rules of a president choosing their running mate. There’s no law or regulation against a president and vice president of the United States being from the same state. The reason why some people mistakenly believe such a prohibition exists comes down to a particular aspect of the Electoral College system laid out in Article II of the U.S. Constitution.

Article II states: “The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”


Under the original system, electors did not distinguish between candidates for the nation’s top two offices; the candidate with the most votes became president, while the runner-up became vice president.

The 12th Amendment, adopted in 1804 after two chaotic elections, mandated that electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president. However, the rule preventing an elector from voting for two people from his home state remained in effect under the new system."

Basically, in a nutshell, the old system didn't have a President and VP on the same ticket. It was 1st and 2nd place became President and Vice President.

So yes, Newsom could be the VP for Kamala.

Not sure that would be a winning ticket?

Media outlets pushing this as if the Dems are going to have to scramble to get a candidate.

No way this happens if they don’t have something in mind.

It’s gotta be Harris

As a registered democrat I would vote for Harris. I probably would have voted Biden but didn’t feel great about it.

I don’t think this does anything. I don’t think Harris will defeat Trump. Gotta wonder why exactly this is going down. Maybe the polling showed things they didn’t like and it’s not been talked about or revealed?

Maybe Biden just realized he's not up to the task?

Harris won’t get the moderate vote. If they run her they are handing the election to Trump and allowing him to destroy the country.

Why won't she get the moderate vote? I think she'll have trouble getting the progressive vote... Unless people just pinch their noses to vote against Trump.

Which is what I'll be doing.

But only if the ticket could win without California's 54 electoral votes. You'd have to be pretty damn confident of a landslide to make that bet.

Who are the wolves?
Who is feeding her to them?

She clearly is qualified in the usual sense of the word (experience at various levels of elected government) and I don't see any evidence for your claim her IQ is low.

I don't think she'd be my first choice (nor was Biden), but without evidence to back them up, I'm having a hard time taking your comments seriously.
