Six people voted for Joe Biden?! >_>

Anyways, Hillary should pick Mark Udall. He won't be that old in 2016, and damn, he LOOKS presidential. But that's just my biased obsessing.

Voted Biden, Kerry, Napolitano, Rice. Gore wouldn't accept.
You think Biden would want to be VP again? Or that Kerry would accept? They'd both be well into their 70s in 2016, have the baggage of their entire political careers and wouldn't energize the base at all. Rice is also still a Republican and tainted by the Bush administration. I think that considering Hillary is carrying the baggage of Benghazi, she should be looking for someone outside the Obama administration.

Wrote that 6 months ago, you can't hold me accountable to anything I wrote longer than 6 days ago! Read your contract.

I guess because the question was "should" the contrarian point I was getting at was that the politics of the running mate don't matter and the only consideration should be whether someone could be president. I mean for goodness sake, look:

No disrespect to Captain Brewer but who cares what someone looks like? They're your back-up president not your lover. Unless you're Jill Biden in which case both.

Also, I meant Susan Rice not Condi Rice. Hillary won't pick her because she's not a safe enough pick. But she's probably more qualified to be president than almost anyone else on that there list (and has more relevant experience than anyone in the buzzed about Republican field). But I think don't think Hillary will consider any of the names on my list.

Besides, my posts expire after 6 days.

Erm...Captain Brewer? Tongue

Also, looks do have a part to play even if you're running for Vice President. It's not a major part, obviously, but it's still there. Without looking at their backgrounds, I'd probably rather vote for someone like John Thune or Martin O'Malley as opposed to say... Barney Frank.

How about Martin Heinrich?

I thought Bennett would be the best solution but obviously he's got a Senate race to run in 2016.

From what I've seen, Martin Heinrich is unbelievably boring and robotic, but I could be wrong on this.

This. I said Hickenlooper earlier, but if Clinton wants to gain rural votes, than this will help.

Another possible option is Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky. 

Age would be an issue, but of course the healthcare rollout in KY was very successful, so who knows what way that would go. I probably wouldn't support the ticket, however. Tongue
