In some ways he'd be the perfect VP pick for Hillary. He comes from one of the most important states for winning the election and could swing Jewish voters, he'd also fire up the progressive base that might be skeptical about her. He's a wild card admittedly but I think would be an excellent choice.

No.  That's ridiculous.

I doubt the donors the Clinton's spoil so would much appreciate that. Also, I suspect potential Anti-Semitic backlash would make it even less likely.

No.

Where he's viewed overwhelmingly unfavorably.


So name Feingold or Wyden, if that's the group you're most worried about Democrats losing.

That is a vast understatement.

He accused his opponent in 2010 of being a Taliban member...

I like to have at least a few on our side that can beat the teabaggers at their own game.

His opponent acted like a Taliban member, so the accusation was fair.

Well, it wasn't exactly successful. Didn't he lose in the biggest landslide of any incumbent representative?

No, if anything, he would hurt Hillary's chances.

I'd be seriously tempted to vote for Hillary if she put Grayson on the ticket.

He would be a good attack dog. But he could embarrass Clinton or any other Democratic nominee.

Only if Bernie Sanders pulls off a miracle (and picks Grayson) and then Hillary Clinton bolts and runs as a third party.

What about Anthony Weiner? He could really boost Clinton's standing with Hispanics (Carlos Danger) and hot-headed men, very important demographics IMHO
