I voted Hagan, but I'd really like to see her as VP.

Schweitzer.

While I'd prefer Shumlin, Franken, Warren, Grayson and Feingold on ideological, winning is more important.

Schweitzer's actually pretty good on some leftist issues; he supports Canada-style healthcare, for example. And he's been a champion for some environmental causes (when an oil spill happened in his state, he demanded that BP or whoever clean it up).

Yeah, that's why I said him > the other frontrunners. None of the really left-wing guys would have a hope in hell, whereas his GE strength makes him one of strongest candidates in years.

But we all know they're gonna pick Cuomo....

Seriously? My sense is that however well organized his campaign might be, winning votes will be an uphill struggle for him.

Why do you guys like Schweitzer so much ? It's an actual question, since I don't know him at all.

Left-wing principles without the tiresome shibboleths of coastal establishment types.

I suspect it comes from a subconscious Democratic tendency to like candidates that can capture a wide range of support. Schweitzer may seem at first glance like a typical centrist Governor of a Western state, but he is a left-winger at heart. Democrats rise and fall on the basis of our candidates much more than Republicans do, and Schweitzer is very easygoing with a charming populist persona that can drag along voters that other Democrats might have a problem with.

Also he's been a really good Governor, which is always a plus.

Schweitzer or O'Malley.

My ideal ticket would be Schweitzer/Klobuchar.
