Just watched part of an interview with Biden on MSNBC "The Last Word"

and reading between the lines as to who he will pick for VP, it sounds like Stacey Abrahms. It sounded like he wanted a woman, and that he would prefer if she had also been on the debate stage. Then he qualified his statement by saying that she didn't necessarily had to have been in the primary debate.

primary today, I would vote for:

She was the one who put him down during the first debate just to score points. Her polls went up dramatically but then they took a nose dive. Regardless of who he chooses, he has a great field to choose from.

As long as Biden picks a well qualified Black Woman, he will destroy Trump. This may be the single most important VP pick in history. Biden's VP pick will roughly have a 14 out of 45 chance of becoming President someday, or almost 1 in 3. There is no better way for a woman to raise her odds of becoming President.

would be my first choice.....she is dynamic......and being a woman and an African-American she would ensure the votes of minorities IMHO.

Reading tea-leaves and looking for clues is fun! I love to speculate too! The suspense... is very exciting and it's killing me at the same time. It's almost like being a child and waiting for Christmas.
