Heres a food for thought
What say ye to an having Independent as a Veep on the ticket?

I can't even think of one except Bloomberg....yeah I know, but
just throwing it out there to see what DUers think, besides
it will kill the media and repugs right in their tracks.
Nothing will be more powerful than that.

Never been done before, so folks here is to

wishful thinking.....:toast:

What say ye!

4. Senator Bernie Sanders is the better Indie.

That said, As much as I like Bernie Sanders, he does not bring us a needed swing state. Bringing such a state will likely be considered imo.
edit to remove a "?"

5. no - IMO Bloomberg adds nothing
I think he will pick someone well respected and with foreign policy creds.

Webb does that and helps with VA
Richardson does plus helps with the Latino vote

just my 2 cents anyway...
