alas, castro is the wrong sex. biden said he would only pick a woman.
Castro was extremely rude to Biden during at least one of the Debates. In fact, Castro strikes me as generally rude. I prefer most of the women being discussed to Julian Castro.

The most popular progressive female is overwhelmingly Elizabeth Warren.

Unfortunately, Maxine Waters would be a marked improvement over what we have now.

Trump's lowered the bar to a subterranean level.

Panel of Democrat Primary voters support Kamala Harris as VP. News reporting she is on a very short list. I said this before she is the only one who checks the boxes.

She and Val Demings have to be out of contention now with the anti-police hysteria.

Really good article on Senator Duckworth in today's NYTimes.

Though the NYT is a pay site they do allow people to freely see a few articles each month.

Excerpt: "Dan Milberg is a retired Army helicopter pilot who voted for Donald J. Trump in 2016, and does not wish to vote for him again. But before he can consider pulling the lever for Biden he needs to know who his running mate will be. “It might be someone too progressive,” said Mr. Milberg, ... The one person who would put him at ease, Mr. Milberg said, is the pilot whose seemingly lifeless body he lifted from a helicopter in 2004, her legs blown off by a rocket-propelled grenade not far from Baghdad: Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois."

The article has a lot of good info on Duckworth. Even without legs, she could KICK dotard out of the white house and into the dustbin of history.

Last I’ve read it’s either Warren or Harris. Is that true? No black female VP?

It's going to be Harris I can't see anyone else checks the boxes. No one cares anymore about being too progressive.

Moderates care. A moderate in the Midwest isn’t voting for Harris.

I’m leaning towards him picking Susan Rice.
She has the experience to mend foreign relations.

2 vetting problems for 2 diff VP Candidates.


Gov of New Mexico Michelle Lujan Grisham has a couple crotch grabbing sexual assault accusations in the past few years. One is an alleged drunken joke and another allegation is a bad attempt at joke at the expense of the person assaulted. IMO, she's not going to be considered as VP due to this.


Atlanta Mayor Bottoms . One of her security detail officers, Office Oliver Simmonds, shot and killed an unarmed male( D’Ettrick Griffin 18) that stole his unmarked vehicle at a gas pump and was driving away when shot. This is against department policy when suspect fleeing. Multiple lawsuits. 2 other vehicles hit after the dying man wrecked the vehicle. https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/...LuNaXP1VHTUKK/
