My humbly proposed guide to Vice President Biden on how to select his VP
1. Create a list of candidates, e.g. Klobuchar, Harris, Warren, Abrams, Whitmer. You can have more if you would like. I'm just using five for this example. Okay, so we have five candidates,
2. Create a list of the most important attributes that you want your VP to have, e.g.
"Comfortable that the choice will be ready to assume the office on day one."
"Has experience working in government at high levels"
"Can help me get things passed in congress"
"Can help me govern as president"
"Can help win a key swing state"
"Can help win an entire region"
"Can help turn out the base"
"Can help turn out the Obama coalition"
"Can help turn out progressives"
"Can help turn out moderates"
"Can be a good attack dog against Trump"
Again, this list can be much longer.
3. Final step. For each attribute, score each candidate on a scale of 1 to the total number of candidates with the highest number meaning that candidate is the best suited for that attribute. In our example, there are 5 candidates, so the scale will be 1 to 5 with the highest score being best suited for that attirbute:
"Has experience working in government at high levels": Klobuchar-5, Warren-4, Harris-3, Whitmer-2, Abrams-1.
"Can help turn out the Obama coalition": Harris-5, Abrams-4, Warren-3, Whitmer-2, Klobuchar-1.
"Can help win a key swing state": Whitmer-5, Klobuchar-4, Warren-3, Harris-2, Abrams-1
Final score with jsut these three attributes: Harris-10, Warren-10, Klobuchar-10, Whitmer-9, Abrams-6
The candidate with the highest score should be your VP. In case of ties, give the most important attributes greater weights, and re-score.

All points are given to "positive" signs/traits.
Welcome to the "Divided States of America!"
Run the numbers again with "negative" factors involved.
Not to run down ANY of the candidates mentioned - but just trying to be realistic here - you know it's gonna' happen!
NO MATTER THE SCORE - GOTTA' VOTE BLUE - NO MATTER WHO!
