Yes, she's AA and that's great, but she's also a prosecutor by trade. I don't get the sense she's super popular with POC's in this country.

But more than that, CA/OR/WA is a slam dunk for Democrats.

I'd prefer Abrams if we're going with the calculus that we need an AA person on the ticket. Need someone who can't be painted with the 'Coastal Elite' brush.

I think Susan Rice could make some sense as well.

If I had my absolute druthers with winning the election not especially in mind ... it would be Liz.

Here is my list of definite No's:

Corey Booker
Beto O'Rourke
Hillary Clinton
Amy Klobuchar
