Clinton's Running Mate?

[Virginiá]

If she really thinks Kaine is a safe choice for preserving a possible Democratic Senate majority, then she is wrong. McAuliffe can fill the seat for now, but Kaine's replacement will have to run to keep his seat in the next general election, which is 2017's off-year gubernatorial race, where turnout is much lower. Virginia would not necessarily be a lock, especially considering their habit of siding with the party not in the White House during these elections. That was only recently broken in 2013 and it's not known yet if that was a fluke or the start of a new trend.

If there are problems with the economy in 2017, Republicans could end up with the Governor's mansion and a new Senate seat, born completely out of Hillary's stupidity.

This isn't my prediction, but I'm starting to like Tom Perez as VP.

I've liked him for VP for a while now. He seems like a good fit in terms of helping appease liberals but also a wink and a nod to Hispanics.

The other choices seem unpalatable - Castro has virtually no experience and he isn't nearly ready to handle the duties as POTUS, should that come. Kaine would have to give up his VA Senate seat, which is not safe in a 2017 off-year election. Warren has numerous issues that many have already written about, and Brown would endanger any possible Senate majority. Perez just seems like a good middle ground here.
