Media sure cared about academic pedigree in 2008 when a ditz from Alaska joined McCain...

Sure do not want this happening again.

Whitmer went to one college, not six.

MSU was the top party school in the US in the late 80s, early 90s; she majored in “communications” and was a sorority girl. Then on to the worst law school in Michigan... even though she was born rich and had parents with mucho clout. She’ll make a fine vp... but let’s not pretend there’s nothing to her “Gretchen Half-Whitmer” nickname. Biden is a fool for commiting to a woman vp — Cuomo is the OBVIOUS choice.

Not digging Cuomo after his disastrous handling of the COVID crisis in NYC. Much prefer Klobs. So what if she has a mean streak - she seems like a grounded, Midwestern woman who gets things done and Biden's diplomacy would be a good counterfoil to her mean streak.

She is a graduate of Yale and U.Chicago. Its a +1 from me. Its high time we got some intellect in the White House.

Warren.

The lady who got to Harvard by lying about her race?

No thanks.

And she just pwned Ivy League douchebag Ted Cruz.

Love this. She's clearly smart, able to skillfully clap back to prominent politicians on the other side like Cruz and DT.

Not clear, her favorables are not as high as some of the other candidates:

Initially I assumed the strategy would be midwest-focused but the WI primary results suggest Biden might not need help there after all.

I think the fact that Klobuchar does not appeal to AA voters is a problem.

But Biden does — big time!!

If he picks female, we’ve already lost. This isn’t the election year for who us actually best, but who can win. The only ticket that has a chance is Biden/Cuomo.

+1 And she's about as bland and unexciting as you can get. Tim Kaine 2.0, but he's much nicer and more genuine.

And that’s not enough. The AA vote is the backbone of the DNC.

Warren was actually making a lot of inroads with the AA voters. Yvette Nicole Brown, Ashley Nicole Black, Imani Gandy... there were a lot of very committed AA voters for Warren, all of whom are now staunchly pro-Biden. I sincerely hope Biden doesn’t kick them in the teeth with my senator Klobuchar.

Biden needs a solid VP to engage Latinos (his main weakness) and Independents.

Some Governor from a heavy-Hispanic state?

Is that any worse than using your father's money to get in? I'm not a Warren fan, btw.

Then your candidate of choice for VP should be Michelle Lujan Grisham. She's a 12th generation American Latina who served as NM secretary of health, then three terms in the US House (including being chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus) and is currently the governor of NM. She's got executive experience, Congressional experience, experience as a secretary of health (useful in the current crisis) and is popular with Latinos. She's currently rated a B-list candidate on Biden's short-list, but I think she deserves a higher ranking. She adds a lot to Biden's ticket.
