Villaraigosa or Castro. It's a bit racist, but a woman plus a Hispanic will energize voters and recapture the magic of Obama's candidacy. It would be very, very hard for any Republican to beat that ticket. And if the vp was attacked for only being a mayor, They could point out that they represented at least twice the number of constituents as the Gop's last vp candidate. It's not quite that simple, but in the soundbite wars of the day I imagine it could be convincing enough for many voters.


No.

Kaine would be one of the worst picks Hillary could make. Doesn't build up any appeal in Virginia, and his only very notable performance is his disastrous performance as the Party Chairman. Besides, he's the Tim Pawlenty of the Democratic Party: so dull. He's never excited a single person in his life.

I think Tammy Baldwin would be a good pick to console any issues with liberals in the base, as there may seem to be some, and she would be qualified enough to battle any concerns that she's "too radical". Personally, it would also make me more considerate to vote for Hillary, though I mostly have no intentions of doing so.

How about one of the Colorado Senators? I believe that's Bennet and Udall?

Udall would be a strong choice to defuse some of the Glenn Greenwald crowd. Bennet would be a dreadful choice.

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.
