IMO, Sen Sherrod Brown has good TV presence and would be a good choice.

(130,732 posts)and I'd much rather Dems would concentrate HEAVILY on gaining majority in House, and buttressing majority in Senate, NOW and forever. ENOUGH about 2016 Presidential.

enlightenment
(8,830 posts)I understand Ohio's importance in the electoral college . . . but I don't know why that means the VP has to be from Ohio.
Is the presumption that Ohio would not swing to Clinton unless the VP is from Ohio?

(70,447 posts)Now I will work for and support if Hill gets the nod but we need to back
off on all this stupid what will we need to do when she is our pick for POTUS
in 2016.
She was very tired when she left the Sec. of State's job in 2013 and I don't
know if she really wants to or needs to be POTUS to justify her being.
Focus on the now and when the future comes it will be easier.

(14,255 posts)her agenda is. Except, of course, she is for the TPP.
Why on earth support someone for prez when they have not said what they want to do as prez?
Or - maybe all pretense at believing campaign blather is finally done away with, and our candidate is just presented by the Third Way - take it or leave the democratic party.
All I can judge Hilary on is what she has done so far., and that does not look good to me. TPP.
Cannot get behind a Third Way candidate.

(14,255 posts)For me, Hillary does not have "it".
Peer pressure has never worked on me, either.
My gut says "TPP?" Nope.
So I guess I am a wonk!
