Reuters wrote:Biden said at a Democratic debate last week that he would pick a woman for the job, a qualification he reiterated on Sunday.

Biden also emphasized that the woman would have to agree with his fundamental view on policies, including healthcare, education and the need for expansive U.S. influence in the world. He said he shared that kind of common ground with Obama - whom he served as vice president - although they sometimes differed on tactics.

Above all, the person would need to be qualified to serve as president immediately.

“I’ve actually talked to Barack about this - the most important thing is that it has to be someone who, the day after they’re picked, is prepared to be president of the United States of America if something happened,” said Biden, 77.

He's said there are at least 6-7 candidates. However, a bunch of the current suggestions don't fit his criteria. Warren does not agree on his policies about healthcare which is one of his top priorities. He wants to expand on Obamacare and include a public option. She wants the M4A and a much more blanket overhaul. Their ideas on education are also much further apart.

And despite how many people here want to see it, I don't think that Stacy Abrams fits the latter, a person who is prepared to be president of the USA the day after they're picked. She does not have the experience or large enough scaled skills to handle the job.

I think we are honing in on someone who has been a governor or Congresswoman for a significant period of time. The executive experience of being a governor or the Washington familiarity of being a Congresswoman for a significant period of time would prepare them to step into the office immediately. So candidates like Harris, Klobuchar, Whitmer, Grisham, Duckworth, all still qualify.

What's with the " someone" and " they" from Biden? He already promised us a woman so he can go ahead and say she.

I still say that the relatively unknown Michelle Lujan Grisham is the best candidate. She is Latina woman who was the NM Secretary of Health, then served 3 terms in Congress including chairing the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and then was the first Democratic woman elected governor of New Mexico and the first Latina Democratic woman elected chief executive of any state in the union. She has an approval rating of 58%.

Biden especially needs help with Latino voters, that and under 30 voters are his two weakest demographics. Appealing to the under 30 voters is not a winning tactic as Sanders has found out because they are just not reliable voters and you can't guarantee that you'll get enough of them to vote. So he should concentrate on enhancing his popularity with the Latino voters. It's the largest growing demographic in the US and is very significant in several swing races.

She sounds great, but who? is what 95% of voters would say. Give her a cabinet position.

A Latina could just as easily alienate AA voters. AA voters have literally saved the Democratic party and specifically Biden without any thanks elevating a Latina woman to VP before an AA is a slap in the face.
His promise of a AA female judge is meaningless if the Senate isn't turned.

True - black women do not like latinas.

Sorry, you’re wrong. I’ll take a Latina VP, an AA VP, a Gay VP, hell I would take Kermit the Frog as a VP. As long as it is not this administration, we will much improve the current state. Sometimes you political junkies do too much over analysis. People are fighting for their life and livelihood, and Trump is escalating every threat and concern with his pisspoor management, mental incompetence, and band of brothers. People will support, just get Trump and Trump Traitors out of government so we can start repairing the damage!!

Sorry no. I don't just want anyone. We know what damage having just anyone in office can do , and I'm not just talking about Trump. Sure get rid of him, but I don't want #2 who's an idiot and just looks good on the ticket.
Specifically I want a woman. He promised that and if he doesn't deliver that will be a huge problem for me.
I personally don't care about race, but I don't think it can be discounted either.
While I don't believe AA women hate Latina women, such garbage; we can't deny that black voters specifically black women have held down the Democratic party in recent election. Biden owes his comeback directly to the black vote, it would be a huge mistake to overlook that segment of our party. They need to be rewarded in someway or how much longer can we count on their votes?

I think Biden committed too soon to a woman VP.

My choice would be Chuck Hagel -- a Republican!

He can't walk back from a woman now and picking a republican would be unforgivable.

Now if Republicans had any sense they'd drop Trump like a hot potato right now and run a " sensible" republican.

No unity ticket with Biden. He's too old, can't risk presidency going back to GOP. Nobody wants 7-2 conservative SCOTUS

I’m a huge fan of hers but is she allowed to be President? She wasn’t born in the US. I don’t want the Republicans to push a “constitutional crisis,” even though I’ve read some analyses that have said she would qualify to be president.

She's an American citizen from birth due to her father.

Fck the “Sensible Republicans.” Why should we let them ruin our party after they ruined theirs? Anyone - ANYONE - who votes for the GOP at this point is beyond redemption.

Massachusetts is an interesting state. They're a blue state with a red governor.The majority of the governors the last 30 years have been Republicans, but they vote blue for the president I would have thought the home of the Kennedys was blue all the way through..
