What if, Hillary, runs, wins the dem nomination, and picks Warren as VP

Would that stop all the complaining on DU?

I know I would be in political heaven if it ends up a Clinton/Warren or Warren/Clinton ticket we put up against some old white guy/crazy bagger rethug ticket.

Just saying....

Ok no foreign policy experience but having more foreign policy experience then HRC might be hard to find.

I would not want her as VP as the VP has very little power unless something happens to the President. If she can't get the nomination for President then I would prefer she stays in the Senate.

But since she listens only to Wall Street and the consultant class, she will pick the closest thing she can find to Joe Lieberman, possibly an actual Republican like Jim Webb (and yes I know he is supposed to be a Dem, but not so's you'd notice).

I would expect our next Democratic administration to be composed of the cast assembled as primary candidates.
We will just have to wait and see what choices are selected for us.
Warren as VP for Clinton?
to what end?

VP's are virtually powerless, invisible and silent.
I agree with you......we would be better off with her in the senate if she isn't running to win POTUS race----

the Presidential ticket should have a bit more importance than simply bringing quiet to DU.

but it is also two years away. So until either one says what they are doing or not doing officially we will have tons of "its in her eyes," "not running - statement made 2000," "was a republican," "but her mouth says no," etc etc...

I like both. Right now if both were running I'd go with Warren. That does not mean I hate HRC. I think she is awesome. But I can tell you I know who I won't vote for, anything that has a (R) after its name.

Warren/Clinton would be fine. Clinton/Warren? Hell no.

Warren has the chops, Clinton gets the leftovers as VP. She'd probably be exceptionally effective there, to be honest.
