I LOVE Elizabeth Warrant but two candidates from the same part of the country is a really stupid move. Barbara Lee would be perfect. She's from the Left Coast, she's got good, solid, progressive credentials, she's a female and she's African-American. Would that be cool or what? A Jewish male as president and an African-American female as V.P. Talk about breaking ground!

as mentioned below, she can fight quite well from the Senate.

Lee sounds like an interesting pick...hmmm

and probably would be leading right now. She doesn't want Presidency now, why not? She must want to stay where she is, because VP isn't really a step up. It would be a stupid waiting period for something she can still choose to have now.

Making her VP essentially neuters her ability to do anything.

Keep her in the Senate where she can keep fighting.

We must pretend there is a horse race. There is plenty of money to be made in it.

1) She is in her first term as a Senator and is doing a great job and has influence and we don't need to take another Dem out of the Senate especially in a state with a GOP Governor. Let her continue to be an influential Senator.

2) She would be 67 next year and Bernie is in his 70's--he needs a younger VP (IMHO).

3) He is from Vermont a heavily Democratic state and she is from Massachusetts--same region and states ANY democrat will carry (even Hillary).


In my opinion if Bernie were the Democratic nominee he should select a progressive who is younger and has more appeal to groups where he may not be as popular--working class, latinos and African-Americans.

because of her absolute integrity, especially on various fiscal matters.

But the idea that the candidates need to be from different parts of the country is so very strong, that I doubt it will change this time around.

However, I am always astonished that the conventional wisdom is that people who wouldn't vote for the President, the person at the top of the ticket, will now for him rather than the other guy, just because of the VP pick. For what my personal opinion is worth, the VP choice would NEVER make me switch allegiance. The closest to it affecting my vote was when Gore made the very disastrous choice of Joe Lieberman as his running mate. I was completely disgusted with that choice, but it still didn't send me off to vote for the Republican who was running, or even some wasted vote third party candidate.

should Bernie become POTUS, he will need people like Elizabeth Warren in the Senate. He will need every like minded Congress Critter to get things done! This country can no longer keep going the way we are. Stalemate after stalemate!

"We The People" are going to have to work extra hard to get people elected who are willing to WORK TOGETHER, something we haven't had in a very, very long time!

Elizabeth Warren is a firebrand in the Senate and stands up for the people and not Wall Street. Sick of the Chuck Schumer, etc. types who keep me scratching my head! Then of course there's the DARLING in the House... Debbie Wasserman-Schultz who has her own agenda and IMO is working VERY HARD to keep people like Bernie from even being heard!

ENOUGH, Warren may not always vote for what we Sanders supporters want, but I'm willing to bet she will fight hard for the working class much more than what we have now!

JMHO

Not another "let's draft Elizabeth Warren!" thing?

Come on, this is getting embarrassing. Look, I like her. She's doing OK, OK? And I believe she's a Democrat even though she was a Republican 20 years ago. But she's not the messiah. She didn't ride into DC on her ass to save us all. Did she? OK, maybe she did, but how many times does she have to say no? And yes, I know she's a woman, and all that, and a Cherokee Indian if she says so, but, but...hell! She just doesn't look like a Native American to me!

That would be a horrible move by Sanders.
Do you understand politics?

Nice to hear regularly from our libertarian friends.

Sen. Warren is great just where she is. Besides, I thought Bernie supporters didn't like people who "evolved," such as Warren evolving from R to D.

would be an excellent choice. A wonderful lady, very smart and a True Progressive who also voted against the IWR - so we know she has PRINCIPLES.

Martin O'Malley would be good. I like him, he's Progressive, he's tough and he's another politician who doesn't mince words. Would play well with Bernie.
