I think you are right, but... UncleTomsEvilBrother Sep 2019 #1

I heard that at a party meeting a month or so ago. redstatebluegirl Sep 2019 #4

He would be a great choice...hadn't thought of him. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #64

wow that would be great too! samnsara Sep 2019 #6

Oooh, hadn't heard that possibility! That would be good as well. nt woodsprite Sep 2019 #31

Eric holder would be great... I really like Susan Rice as well. Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #114

Eric Holder crazytown Sep 2019 #63

Yep. Not to mention "Fast and Furious"... let's just hand the election to Trump. SMC22307 Sep 2019 #84

I think it will be Warren as the nominee. vsrazdem Sep 2019 #2

She has to show she can win the rust belt. Right now she's tied with Trump-Biden is up 9 redstateblues Sep 2019 #58

No, it won't. She isn't winning the AA community and should they move it will be for Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #65

Probably just wishful thinking. vsrazdem Sep 2019 #70

I don't think declaring she'll shut down Facebook is going to help her politically. ElementaryPenguin Sep 2019 #123

Perhaps Sherman A1 Sep 2019 #3

i dont think he will pick Stacey..and Im not sure he will pick Warren either.. samnsara Sep 2019 #5

Why don't you think he'll pick Stacey Abrams? highplainsdem Sep 2019 #8

I don't either. Stacey was a member of GA's house, Hortensis Sep 2019 #36

My guess is that Biden will pick a guy like Bullock Merlot Sep 2019 #77

I doubt it. He has too many good possibilities who won't disappoint. Hortensis Sep 2019 #85

With GA having 2 senate seats open i say Stacy should run for one of them onetexan Sep 2019 #102

This... Stacy has a very bright future. She should continue to seek higher office. If not in GA Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #115

She wants to be Governor. She doesn't want Senate. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #117

Agree re: Abrams. She shld run for senate. VEEP pick shld be Beto. onetexan Sep 2019 #105

Oh i don't think Harris is off the table at all. MontanaFarmer Sep 2019 #27

I like the concept of Biden/Harris ticket Gothmog Sep 2019 #87

I used to like it - until she attacked him. ElementaryPenguin Sep 2019 #122

I really like Amy, as well. My money for a Biden running mate is still Susan Rice, however. WheelWalker Sep 2019 #34

Picking Rice instantly tosses the Benghazi stinkbomb out into the arena Celerity Sep 2019 #90

Like you, I once dreamed of a Biden/Harris ticket, and like you, I don't really want that anymore. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2019 #60

I wouldn't pick Warren...we lose Senate seat potentially and what does she bring geographically in Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #66

Biden/Beto would help win TX onetexan Sep 2019 #103

I like that combination but can Beto win Texas? Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #119

The polls are showing Beto doing well in Tx and he's very popular here onetexan Sep 2019 #120

I agree. I'm betting Biden/Beto will end up being the ticket. ElementaryPenguin Sep 2019 #121

If Joe, Bernie, or Elizabeth is the nominee dflprincess Sep 2019 #99

I do not agree. It's way too early to determine who the nominee will be. The primary Ninga Sep 2019 #7
