(6,009 posts)He is way more progressive than his constituency would indicate. If he gets called up, we'd be lucky to replace him with a Democrat, let alone with one even close to his politics.

(18,486 posts)And you're right. We need him in the Senate. And there's no way that Ohio's super-partisan governor would replace him with a Democrat or even a reasonable Republican.

(3,404 posts)But we need a wide tent for this ticket that is inclusive of everyone. Having two white guys from the same region of the country will cause diverse voters to stay at home.
I admire Sherrod Brown a lot but the timing is wrong.

(2,448 posts)But honestly, the staff will probably be so happy to be in a normal environment. It may be easier than we anticipate.

(58,726 posts)would alienate all kinds of voting blocs, and I wouldn't blame them.
Hell, I'm sorry we couldn't get one of those excellent women candidates on the top of the ticket. But to be honest, two very important voting blocs elevated Biden this time, women and black voters of both genders.
No way I would surrender Sen Brown's seat to a Repub.

(382 posts)Kennedy would suspend his run for the House and run for her spot in the Senate. Also would suggest Jay Inslee, but yes, another white male. But would be an excellent VP and President.
