Official Kamala Harris announcement in a couple of hours... |
And there are other big names not on the list: Castro, Abrams, O'Rourke, Yang. They always have celebrities too (though I'd be happy if they skipped that this time), so it's definitely not final. With more of a time crunch this time, can't believe they're wasting a slot on John Kerry. Also no Al Gore, guess the Clintons make sure he's never invited. |
Susan Rice 5/4 +125 44.4%

What are you babbling about? She actually tops the ranking of senators in legislative effectiveness and she is still pretty new. According to The Center for Effective Lawmaking (CEL), a joint partnership between the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and Vanderbilt University,[75] Duckworth's "Legislative Effectiveness Score" (LES) is "Exceeds Expectations" as a freshman senator in the 115th Congress (2017-2018), the 11th highest out of 48 Democratic senators.[76 Plus she’s a woman with no legs who kicks a** on a daily basis! |
Come on, no. Kamala Harris is a relatively safe pick, electorally. The bigger danger with her is possible dysfunction in the cabinet if it’s indeed true that she dropped a bunch of opposition research on the other candidates. |
Why do people think she's a safe pick electorally? Serious question. She's in a safe state and ran a disastrous presidential campaign. She doesn't answer questions directly and fumbles her answers all the time. No policy chops. Maybe she could rise to the occasion, but I consider her a very risky pick both in terms of substance and likability. At least Rice has the substance. |
Politico goes to the racism card to try to force Biden’s hand.
Classless. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/08/11/biden-vp-choice-running-mate-black-racial-393337 |
Rice is a top trend on social media too... |
And if you talk to her campaign staffers she treated them like, er, people who do lots of work for free and are owned by other people. |
And if the opposition dumps are true, she's vicious to any colleagues she perceives as rivals. How would that work while she's angling for the Oval? |
