I was a Warren supporter and this seems too good to be true. Thanks for the split second of hope, but I’ll wait for an announcement. |
| It won't be Warren if the GOP senator would replace her. Why cede potential control of the Senate at this juncture? |

I mean, it would be lovely, but I’ve been voting Democratic for twenty years. |
Dems will have a big enough cushion. I don’t even know what the appointment rules are in that state. |
A big enough cushion? There's less than zero cushion! |
She was on Maddow last Thursday (I think? I don’t have cable and never watch it) and gave an unequivocal “yes” when asked if she’d like to be Biden’s VP. So she’s definitely interested, and so is Stacey Adams. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/stacey-abrams-being-vice-president-100000785.html I wonder how that will work out after the slapdown she gave the Biden campaign in 2019. |
Yeah we just did this when Ted Kennedy died. The governor appoints someone, who can be a Republican even though the vacant seat was a Democrat (I don’t understand why the Democratic majority in the state legislature doesn’t change this but that’s how it is) until a special election. And then the Republican won that special election. The Democrats had a huge cushion after the 2008 elections and this still effed things up. They’ll be lucky to take the Senate at all at this point - 50-50 odds to make up a whole bunch of seats (2014 was a banner GOP Senate year.) |
Things aren’t guaranteed, of course, but I think the mood of the country is a smidge different than it was in 2010. |
Isn't Stacey Adams currently unemployed? |
| Warren makes sense due to current economic situation. She'll also get the first female potus buzz as most people don't see Biden finishing his first term. |
She would make it much, much worse. Scary worse. She's never run anything. Plans on paper mean nothing. |
Selena Montgomery is writing bodice rippers. |
She is currently working for a political organization that she founded last year. From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacey_Abrams#After_the_gubernatorial_election

| "working" on a PAC . . . so yeah, unemployed. |
