Clinton/Warren 2016!!

[nolabear]

Hey, a girl can dream.

[Walk away]

1. I doubt it. nt

[Rose Siding]

2. VP consideration has to include geographics and demographicss

Ideology less, but Clinton and Warren are more aligned than most will admit. It wouldn't broaden the appeal of the ticket enough unless Sanders goes 3rd party or something crazy.

[nolabear]

3. Okay,who? Who does she need to draw people in? Franken?

Imo she needs more further left than anything.

[brer cat]

7. Julian Castro.

That would be a very strong ticket and a young VP to run after Clinton's term.

[Rose Siding]

8. Julian Castro has been mentioned

I like Connie Schultz's husband -name escapes me, a Senator from OH which is a critical swing state. But it might not be smart to pull a Senator in because a gop could be elected to replace him.

Castro is from AZ I think, another swing, and will pull in Latino voters.

Both are quite liberal. There've been others mentioned but I don't remember.

[blue neen]

9. I believe you're referring to Sen. Sherrod Brown.

Also, Castro is from Texas.

[Rose Siding]

11. Thank you!

Yes, Brown. Not even Castro would be enough to help in TX lol.

[LisaM]

4. Cecile Richards!

Actually, Jay Inslee from. Washington State? Charismatic, experienced, has worked with Hillary, and a great campaigner.

[nolabear]

6. Not bad. And I happen to live in Seattle. But is he known enough?

[LisaM]

10. He was in Congress, of course.

But in this atmosphere, a so-called no name might be better. He will appeal to tech workers and he is, ummm, cute.

[Lucinda]

12. I was wondering if there was anyone viable in the NW

I'll have to check him out!

Love his focus on energy and the enviromnent, the DP, and he was a Hillary backer too!

[LisaM]

13. Yes, do.

And the governorship would be totally safe in an election year.

[Lucinda]

15. Liking what I am seeing! I was wondering if there was anyone in that area

with a special interest and background working in one of Hillary's core targets, and his work in energy issues is a perfect fit. I also like his DP views and environmental focus. He's also a Hillary super d!

[LisaM]

16. I think he is a natural.

I know some of his family, they are solid (I don't know him).

[Lucinda]

18. I want to see what I can find on video and look at his voting record, but he really

looks great so far! I almost posted last night asking if people knew of good VP options in the West and NW, but didnt feel well enough to follow up with replies. I've been thinking about this for about a week now. I know a lot of people are pro Castro, but I think we should look at others with a bit more experience.

[LisaM]

20. Keep looking!

He works.

[Shakiholic]

5. No :(

We need Warren and Sanders in the senate.

[question everything]

14. No. She has to have someone younger

from entirely different segment. And, it is not as if Warren endorsed her.

Thomas E. Perez secretary of labor

Anthony Foxx secretary of transporttion

and, as others mentioned

Julián Castro secretary of HUD.

[William769]

17. No.

Clinton/Castro.

[stopbush]

19. No. First off, we can't afford to remove any D from the Senate right now.

That leaves out Warren and my first choice, Sherrod Brown, who has already said he doesn't want the VP spot.

So, a House member might be a good choice - one of the Castro brothers is a natural. A D governor would also be a good choice.

A left-field choice: Russ Feingold.

[nolabear]

21. Okay, okay. But I need suggestions if I'm going to indulge in happy fantasies.

Whaddaya got?
