I do think Walz is really impressive but they might be looking for someone with more of a national reputation. Shapiro and Whitmer have gotten a lot of press and they are excellent speakers (but Whitmer has said she doesn't want to do it). Mark Kelly was an astronaut so he's got that military hero vibe, and his wife is Gabby Giffords so there's the gun control angle, but it wouldn't be good to lose a Democrat from the Senate right now. So they'll probably go with a governor. My bet is it will be Shapiro (who would bring PA), but what do I know? Any of them would work for me.
