I'm going to throw out an idea that not many people (including myself until recently) have discussed: what about Sherrod Brown? I was always in the camp of Clinton running with Schweitzer or Warner, but with Schweitzer's decision not to run for Senate and my realization that the last thing Hillary needs is a boring moderate, I had to reconsider. Brown is from a crucial swing state and swing region, and would excite liberals who still don't think Hillary is liberal or exciting enough. Though he's only five years younger than Hillary, he has a much more youthful appearance and flair, and has decades of experience without coming off as a tired career politician. Thoughts on a Clinton/Brown ticket?

I'm not a big Sherrod Brown fan, but he would be a fairly strong pick if Hillary really needs liberals. Plus, he would double down on a populist image that can win very swingy areas like Arkansas, Kentucky, and West Virginia, where the right kind of Demcorat can win, and the wrong kind of democrat can lose by 20 points or more.

Exactly- he is way on the liberal end of the Democratic Party, but at the same time he has a populist appeal due to his work with jobs in the Rust Belt that could allow him to appeal to states like AR/KY/WV/MO (states where Hillary already appeals a hundred times more than most Democrats). This would be a VERY formidable ticket.
