CBC Chairwoman Karen Bass is out, per @jeffzeleny, @DanaBashCNN @merica. The Biden campaign has informed some of the women the former Vice President’s team vetted about his choice of running mate. Karen Bass was told by Biden himself that she was not the pick.

1. I know I'm not the pick, either. 2 down.

[dchill]

2. Ditto! Go figure...

[Zoonart]

5. Me neither...

Damn it all.

[rufus dog]

6. Rufus Dog not the pick either

We seem to have a trend here. Fox, Politico, and concern trolls will be all over Biden’s lack of respect for dogs.

16. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! How come he didn't pick me. I thought i'd be VP. Oh well.

[Nevilledog]

17. Donald, is that you?

[trueblue2007]

19. how dare you !!!! I hate Don the Con !!!!!!! Yucky poo-poo

[Nevilledog]

20. I was momentarily confused by all the whining.....loo

[trueblue2007]

22. ha ha ha .... i am SO nervous !!!!! just sking with excitement.

[Nevilledog]

24. I can feel you vibrating from here.

[bluewater]

3. Harris or Rice then? n/t

[MarcA]

8. Seems like it.

I don't think Biden would select a little known shocker candidate.

[LexVegas]

4. Kamala has rocketed up on predictit in the last 10 minutes. nt

[Zoonart]

9. Tin foil hat firmly on...

I have had a feeling that they had a deal since the minute she dropped out if the race so early on.
Just my silly writer's penchant for drama.

[StevieM]

10. Yeah, those markets are going crazy.

The last time I checked--a minute ago--the numbers were narrowing again. Also, Rice was still way up on Betfair, at least as of a couple minutes ago.

It definitely seems like it will be one of those two women, Harris or Rice.

On Edit: I was actually misreading the numbers on Betfair. Kamala was up there too.

7. I think the scientology stuff would have been too much

I have no issue with her in a cabinet spot, but scientology would hurt her nationally.

[Dream Girl]

13. Plus the Castro el jefe nonsense and Cubans in Florida

[Renew Deal]

14. Right

I wonder if a campaign would release that kind of info to get someone off their list. This is not Biden specific.

[Hortensis]

25. Imo, unlikely more than any other smear campaigns launched

against the others. And whoever it is will be targeted for RW character assassination. They'd create much better stuff than that for her.

[bearsfootball516]

11. 99 percent sure it's Harris.

She's been the frontrunner since it was clear Biden was going to win the nomination.

[Sedona]

12. Is it Skinner? Timely exit yesterday and all.

It takes a lot of planning to make a coincidence---Malcolm Nance

(I'll be here all week)

[trueblue2007]

18. Is Skinner a girl, I ask innocently .....

[SiliconValley_Dem]

15. yeah. not surprised

[Hortensis]

21. This suggests we will know today, then. I like Karen Bass,

and just realized that, though I never thought it would be her, she's apparently going to be the first of a line of regrets for me.

I've read that when choosing a favorite, such as a kitchen counter, a perverse syndrome is often kicked off. The rejects are vastly upgraded to the "what might have beens," and when that happens what was liked is magnified and any negative factors dim and may even be forgotten.

Darn! Karen Bass would have been great!

[fleur-de-lisa]

23. Any one of them would make a great VP.

I'm thankful that we have so many wonderful women that were considered.

[Hortensis]

27. Umhm. Remarkable women!

Oh, it's Kamala Harris!

[Dream Girl]

26. Still regret not going with the gray and black kitchen counter four years ago...

[Hortensis]

28. Lol, but then again...!
