I am glad that Midwesterns Walz, Kelly and Beshear are being considered for the ticket

[question everything]

Our leadership have been Coasts heavy for a long time.

[BeyondGeography]

1. Not to mention Governors

Haven’t had one on the ticket since Bill Clinton.

[rsdsharp]

2. Uh, Arizona and Kentucky are in the Midwest?

[question everything]

5. Not on a coast..

[Prairie Gates]

6. That's not what Midwest means

[question everything]

9. Oh, just took some liberty.. was easier than non-coastlines..

Please?

[Prairie Gates]

10. I guess you could just change it to stop getting all the confused replies?

I dunno...

It's kind of a very coastal thing to say: anything that's not the coasts is the Midwest? It's just odd. That's why people are objecting.

[Zambero]

16. How about the Mid-Middle?

Except for Florida, gulf coast states are also included!

[rsdsharp]

7. Not in the Midwest, either. By that definition, 31 states are in the Midwest.

[msongs]

3. not so impressed with Beshear from the brief interview the other day.....

he flat out did not answer the questions and just went on and on in political-babble mode

[Ocelot II]

4. Neither Arizona nor Kentucky are midwestern states,

but at least they're non-coastal states for a change. Obama was from Illinois, though.

[niyad]

8. And Clinton from Arkansas.

[rsdsharp]

11. And Gore from Tennessee.

[question everything]

14. Clinton, Gore, Obama were separate events the first two from previous century

But I noticed the trend when the new House convened and the three leaders: Pelosi, Hoyer and Clyburn - all costies - were replaced by other coastwise. Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar.

[LeftInTX]

15. He was also from Hawaii....OK...surrounded by water..LOL

[Arazi]

12. Pritzker is the only Midwesterner under consideration

[question everything]

13. Apparently also Walz.

[lark]

17. Being a little nit-picky, but AZ is not midwestern, it is far west, but also swing and very important.

[question everything]

18. Right. I should have stated as "not coasting"

Back at you
