Shapiro or Kelly for VP?

Okay last one I swear

Mark Kelly or Pete Buttigieg for VP?

If it came down to a choice between only those two, who would you prefer?

Sell me on Mark Kelly

He seems somewhat popular here. To me he doesn’t really add a lot to the ticket since he isn’t especially charismatic or from a region as crucial as the Midwest/ mid Atlantic. His credentials are valuable, but seeing as how this is basically a popularity contest, wouldn’t somebody much younger and energetic from a more vital key swing state, go a lot further?

Lichtman's keys

He made an announcement recently that said Democrats lose the incumbency key but if there is not a contested primary, they will still hold 7/13 keys, or about a 50/50 chance at the White House.

One thing Lichtman hasn’t discussed is the difference in charisma with Harris. He still basically has her losing that key, but I don’t think that’s fair. If she demonstrates she is in fact “charismatic” -which I think she is, she would hold 8/13 keys, replacing incumbency with charisma.
