    Definitely an option.

    Mark Kelly, Michael Bennet, you can go with Brown and fight for Ohio.

    Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, Roy Cooper

    Can't. Candidates from the same state can't share a ticket.

    I suppose if he resigned to run that could happen though.

    I'm not backing any Dem that I'm aware of. I am voting for pretty much any Dem the DNC selects.

    I'm thinking it's going to be Roy Cooper from NC. Darkhorse. NC's been turning purple and he's older, he has nothing to lose and a lot to bring to the ticket.

    Shapiro and Whitmer still have stuff to do in their states. Also, picking Vance, from Ohio, won't endear the Trump ticket to PA and Mich voters -- they hate all things Ohio, especially Ohio State. Vance's positions on things like women's rights won't play well in those moderate neighboring states, either.

    In picking Vance, the GOP might have given the Dems a break in PA and Michigan.

    Dude is a badass! Would love to see him on the ticket. Also would help win Arizona.

    I could see it being Harris/Cooper but that's a boring safe route. I think the Dems need more vim and vigor. Harris/Kelly is probably the best bet.

    I thought because she was VP she wasn’t a California representative anymore. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

    Cooper's never lost an election.

    Won governor in an otherwise red state at the time,

    Was in his final term as governor.

    Effectively got the endorsement of former DNC chair Howard Dean a couple of days ago.

    Has been campaigning with Harris.

    Give you balance by being from the Atlantic seaboard, the south, and a swing state.

    I think this is the guy.

    Also was NC's AG.

    Two former prosecutors running against a convicted felon.

    You seriously couldn't make this stuff up.

    When I find myself in times of trouble, Kamala Harris comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
    And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
    And when the broken hearted Bidens living in the world agree
    There will be an answer, let it be
    For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
    There will be an answer, let it be
    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    There will be an answer, let it be
    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be
    And when the polls are cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
    Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be
    I wake up to the sound of music, Kamala Harris comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
    And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
    And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

    When she was nominated for VP 4 years ago, Randy Rainbow composed Kamala to the tune of Camelot.
    Find myself singing it.
    I think convention will open nominations. Anyone who wants to can throw hat in ring. And she will be nominated overwhelmingly, possibly by consensus.
    Last week Harris met with Republican women, hosted by former Mike Pence aide Olivia Troye who worked for Pence because she was in her words pro life. But doesn't like what has happened with extreme bans. Harris talked of faith and abortion and how they need not contradict, that women could consult with their clergy person and based on faith could make a decision to keep a pregnancy but it must be her personal and faith decision and not government overreach.

    The woman who had 0 delegate votes in the primary of 2020? I think they are posturing support for Harris but are going to run Hillary again.
