1. Boy, do I agree with you! I'm really tired of everybody having their own guess but NOBODY

KNOWS. I bet Joe is laughing hos butt off at the damn feeding frenzy.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

4. yep. I get it that it helps keep Joe in the news cycle

from a positive standpoint--but it could quickly become more divisive than helpful.

[frazzled]

2. And no one is likely to care a whit

five days after it’s announced.

[Totally Tunsie]

3. It's a "Veepstakes side show" only because the public calls it or makes it so.

Joe knows what he's doing, and he announced it would be announced just before the Convention that starts next Monday. He's merely on schedule as he sees and sets it. If we just let him go about his business, no "side show" develops.

And...he's making a serious and considered decision.
Recall those who didn't do so - aka, John McCain?

5. not faulting Biden--just the crap from mainly media and opposition

[Funtatlaguy]

6. There's been too much buildup about a POC.

I’m concerned about a negative reaction if he picks a Caucasian.

8. There will be negative reaction to whoever he picks. nt

9. Bingo!!!! There are people who are determined to be dissatisfied. nt

[SiliconValley_Dem]

10. once the decision is made--no matter who Biden chooses

the intense focus and rancor will die down.

7. You can bet whoever it is Trump and the media has everything negative

they can find or make up waiting to attack him or her with.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

11. fine. it still won't be a negative once decided

just taking 2 top choices (Whitmer and Harris) both have already received intense media focus and will mot have trouble shifting to Veep level messaging.

I have hopes since she dropped out that it would be Harris, but I would understand Whitmer choice. Most others I wouldn't feel as strongly positive about but also wouldn't feel negative.

I think Susan Rice is the riskiest choice.

12. Me too, time to name someone and get serious! 🤨 nt

[meadowlander]

13. Ditto.

It’s a fundamentally boring decision that isn’t getting any more interesting for being dragged out for six months. Pick someone, print some signs and lets get on with it.
