Are we still pretending like picking a person from a swing state matters?

1. Swing State - Florida is the most important swing state, and if she wants to pick someone from that state, there are no statewide office holders except Nelson, who is 5 years older than Hillary. Schultz is the highest ranking Congresscritter otherwise.

2. The Jewish vote. Democrats are hemorrhaging the Jewish vote which is critical in the state.

3. Youth. Schultz is still relatively young which would balance out Hillary's age.

4. You have no idea who she'd appeal to because she's never run a statewide race. She's always done well in her district.

5. Cancer survivor. Excellent personal story of overcoming adversity.

6. If Lincoln Chafee wins the nomination, she'd be an excellent pick. Even waltermitty agrees.



The fact that you refer to WalterMitty as if he is a wise sage is the dumbest part of your post.

"Democrats are losing the Jews!!!!1!!!11!" is a tried and true GOP talking point. The only problem is that the Democrats wrack up large margins among Jewish voters each election and all GOP outreach is for naught.

Very true. A Chafee/Schultz ticket would be unstoppable.

Beet has expressed unironic support for Schultz many times, so it isn't really that far off that he's being serious.

And that's the concern. The most hated Democrat, period, whom basically got you guys slaughtered in 2010/14, does not deserve any support.

Well, Tim Kaine makes the ticket slightly more generic since he's a bland white guy, and having been elected statewide twice, he can actually be good for locking down Virginia. That's why people overlook 2010.

And hey, in the end, at least Kaine was able to keep hold on the Senate and get embattled incumbents reelected in CO, NV, WV, CA, and WA. Schultz was only able to get Shaheen reelected due to her opponent being Scott Brown, and Warner only got reelected because Republicans didn't spend any money there due to misleading junk polls. Every other senate democrat who won was in absolutely no danger of losing.

Schultz has only won election in her safe D congressional district that would probably elect Ed Fitzgerald, is anything but bland, and wouldn't win Clinton a single extra vote.

Just because 2014 managed to be worse doesn't make 2010 not be a total disaster.

Guys, please don't act as if Murphy would beat CLC by 20 points and Grayson would lose by the same margin. CLC and Grayson are not to be underestimated and Murphy is not inevitable.
We are not saying that. It will be close, but I suspect Murphy could beat CLC 52-48%.

That's what I was thking. I can't help but wonder if the gay rumors will hurt Murphy in the general in a state like Florida.

It's not 2004 anymore, I don't think that kind of rumor would hurt someone anywhere but the most backwards, hyper-religious/conservative environments, of which Florida is not one. (Also I've heard no such rumors, got a "source" on that?)

I haven't heard any gay rumors about Murphy at all. He was arrested at a strip club for God's sake!

The gay rumors didn't effect Crist in a year when opposing gay marriage was still acceptable.
