My heart's with SecPete but there's no way Merika is gonna have any of that! Kelly would be a fabulous pick. Can we create a "Secretary of Explaining Things"?
I love it when he goes on Fox and absolutely destroys bullshit narratives.
This country will not elect a president when there is a gay man on the ticket. We also will not vote for a candidate unless there is at least one man on the ticket.
I agree Mark, but I still love RBG's response to the question, "how many women on SCOTUS would it take for her to be satisfied?" Her answer: "Nine". Follow up response: "That seems extreme". Her response, "we have a long history of a single sex SCOTUS".
Everyone knows that the first openly-gay POTUS will be Jared Polis.
Buttigieg did well in the Iowa caucuses and that was about it. Then he lost NH to Bolshevik Bernie and it was over.
Buttigieg has positioned himself to run for governor of Michigan when Whitmer is term limited. Then he can show he can win a statewide race.
I voted for Mark Kelly but it was a tough decision. Josh Shapiro was a close second.
Kelly brings his military experience and the astronaut gig which is kind of cool. And he speaks with authority on immigration and gun violence, obviously. (And Shapiro will piss off the folks in Dearborn who do not need to be pissed off any more than they already are.)
Plus, Kelly will drive the Q-Anon folks even more crazy than they already are. He has an identical twin brother, Scott, and we won't know who is really seated behind the president during those SOTU addresses! <G>
His identical twin could be deployed and double his campaign appearances!
A good strategy posted at NYTiimes says Harris should pick Walz because iMinnesota is not a swing state – in order to deploy our popular governors and Sen Kelly in their home states where they have the most sway. Walz can hit Wi, MI and GA
Actually this was the reasoning I used to pick Andy Beshear, he doesn't deliver Kentucky, but that's OK.
Andy Beshear can call out the Yale-educated, Silcon Valley-employed, faux trailer park trash GOP VEEP nominee for being what he is.
A fake hillbilly.
Harris is up 6 in Minnesota today in a Fox poll.
I still want Mark Cuban.
Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger ????
I could conceivably live with that but the hard left would lose their shit over that.
It would be the miror image of what happened when John McCain wanted to select the pro-choice, pro-LGBT rights, pro-immigration reform Joe Lieberman as his running mate in 2008. The hard right issued a Fatwah.
After they vetoed his other choice, Tom Ridge, as being too RINO-ish, he gave them what they wanted. And the rest is history.
I would not mind seeing Kinzinger in a Harris cabinet as secretary of defense or homeland security, or even Liz Cheney as secretary of homeland security. (Although she may share some of his right wing beliefs, she is not exactly carbon copy of her father. And she proved her chops on 1/6.)
The Dems are going to run the board in November, because women absolutely PISSED about the Republican anti-abortion wars.
The Vice candidate that Kamala chooses should be one that further activates the Democratic base, which is heavily weighted toward Women, Youth, African-Americans and College educated.
Just as Trump picked JD Vance to solidify his base.
It's all about turnout, not persuading Trump fans to give up their koolaid.
AP is reporting NC Gov. Cooper opted out of Harris VP vetting, in part over worry about GOP lieutenant: AP sources
Kelly definitely has the "cool" factor, but Shapiro is young and should deliver PA.
Putting a white guy on the ticket who is older than Harris will be viewed as paternalistic by many of the voters she excited in the last week. This has to be a GenX/Millennial ticket.
Who do you have as the person aged 43 or under with the chops and props to be president?
42 YO Pete Buttigieg
Pete Buttigieg's electoral history consists of winning mayoral elections in South Bend, IN (population: 103,000).
In 2010, he was the Demcoratic nominee for IN state treasurer, getting 37.5% running against one Richard Mourdock. (Mourdock would go on to lose the US Senate race in IN in 2012 after some remarks about pregnancy, rape and abortion which, at the time, were considered unacceptable.
James Donald BowmanJD Vance has said virtually the same thing recently.)Buttigieg also managed to pull off a virtual tie with Bernie Sanders in the Iowa Democratic Party caucuses in 2020.
That's it for his election track record.
He's moved to MI so he is probably planning on running for governor in 2026 when Gretchen Whitmer will be term-limited out of office. After he's demonstrated that he can win a statewide office, he'll be ready for president or VEEP.
The Buttigieg family moved to Michigan … at the time, the explanation was pretty clear:
I expect even Pete Buttigieg would have a hard time moving into Michigan and trying to establish himself as a viable 2026 candidate for governor.
Hillary Clinton. New York. 1999.
You actually accept what they say at face value? It’s nice to know there are still such trusting people.
Because a politician will never do anything with mixed – or ulterior – motives.
I guess we will need to wait and see — but the previous governors of Michigan have had a bit more invested in pubilc service in the state than Buttigieg could possibly get.

Was answering question of who is 43 or younger capable of running as VP. He is smart, veteran, and articulate. Look at his interview with FOX NEWS SUNDAY this week and systematically in plain midwest style english decapitating Shannon Bream for the viewers to get some education about reality.
I really appreciate his capabilities and yes being openly gay man married with two kids would be a stretch for some but not the majority, at least I think so.
