Interesting, isn't it?

1. Based on those counts, I see a couple of potential VP nominees.

Buttigieg and Klobuchar

Both have relative youth on their sides, which many voters would be interested in seeing from a 70-something presidential nominee.

Klobuchar also has being a woman on her side.

Buttigieg his considerable popularity in previous primaries in his favor.

Warren does not have the youth factor and is not well-aligned, policy-wise, with Biden.

7. If Biden is the nominee and President then his Presidency will need a

A great executive as chief of staff and Buttigieg would fit that role perfectly.

We talk about diversity on the ticket but one area we need to fight harder in the midwest. Klobuchar is ready to be President and helps us to reach out to suburban women and states like Iowa.

A Biden/Klobuchar ticket would make the difference in AZ Senate race (Kelly) while a Sanders nomination would kill it. Biden/Sanders could win AZ on the Presidential ticket.

The McSally campaign is already running a ton of ads linking Kelly to Sanders and ends with a clip of Sanders looking into the camera saying "I will increase taxes". This is McGovern/Mondale territory.

8. Good thinking. I'm in favor of Amy as the VP nominee.

She's been very effective in the Senate, and has the chops to be a good President in 2024 or 2028, after a term or two of seasoning in the executive branch. She will also be an excellent Senate and House liaison person.

I think Biden would be hard-pressed to find a better VP nominee. Others who have been suggested don't have the same characteristics.

10. Buttigieg as Chief of Staff

That's a brilliant idea.

13. I agree Biden would do well to choose a progressive

should he be the candidate.
