Assuming Biden or Sanders don't run/win, then yes, I'd say he's got as good a shot as any other white male, and is definitely on the short list (as of now, that is).
Morden, I disagree that Brown would be likely in the case of a Sanders win. Sure, Sanders would want someone that shared his economic vision, but who Sanders wants, and who Sanders would ultimately pick, are two different things.
There would be too much pressure for him to pick a minority, female, or both. This would be further aggravated by the fact that if Sanders is winning, that means he most likely beat a female, or a minority, or both (a la Harris). There is likely to be a lot of discord in the party because of that, and the pressure for Sanders to pick a non-white male will be too great for him.
Consider that Sanders has not particularly shown a lot of backbone when it comes to standing up to challenges. Take his stance on illegal immigration, which he pulled a sudden, complete 180 on because of a Vox interview with Ezra Klein, of all people. He'd cave even faster on this.
