Seems a bit offensive. I'm going to assume a deal was worked out over lunch. That's the only way this wouldn't be a sleight.

She has declared both

she had to have been approached by his campaign and likely him before any discussions ensued. I can see advantages and disadvantages to this, but I am positive this has been discussed with her.

For many reasons.

do we need multiples?

He has to defend her and defend himself. What happens if he finds out something about her he doesn’t like? Does he drop her?

.....and because i was always drooling for a Biden/Harris ticket........then i read her Bio and WOW!!!! Shes written 6 romance novels! I mean besides all the other cool-worthy career stuff..she also went to YALE LAW SCHOOL! I have always liked her but i thought the pick was kind of odd but WOW im totally on board now.

To neglect to mention that is to draw a very...inaccurate picture.

Much as I admire our governor-elect Abrams, and I do, I'm not on board with her for president, but I'm also not on board with snide.

Joe Biden once called state-mandated school integration “the most racist concept you can come up with,” and Barack Obama “the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean.” He was a staunch opponent of “forced busing” in the 1970s, and leading crusader for mass incarceration throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. Uncle Joe has described African-American felons as “predators” too sociopathic to rehabilitate — and white supremacist senators as his friends.

And, as of this writing, a plurality of black Democrats want him to be their party’s 2020 nominee.

Whether Biden can retain that support, after voters learn more about his problematic past, could very well determine the outcome of the party’s primary race. To explore that question, let’s pick through the former vice-president’s hefty baggage on racial justice — and then, the case for thinking that Obama’s halo will prove to be brighter than the shadow of Biden’s record is dark.

Biden helped kill the most effective policy for improving black educational attainment that America has ever known.
Joe Biden was for

If the gambit fails, it will ruin her own brand. On the other hand, if a different white male wins the nomination, she could still be the VP pick.

and I'm really not sure if she would do it.

Bernie has some mending to do in that area as well. Starting with the concept fixing income inequality doesn’t fix race inequality. And unlike Biden’s ideas from 50 years ago on busing Bernie is misguided and wrong on this in the PRESENT.

It’s sort of laughable and more than a little ironic a Sanders supporter would take this line of attack on Biden. Irony is officially dead.

Once he declares, it will be open season, and his treatment of Anita Hill will come up. Picking Abrams now is a desperate, cynical attempt to neutralize this criticism.

I hope she says no- she's got a brighter future than this.

That he is old and tired

I would like for her to be my senator... VP is great, too!

Dumb dumb dumb. Fire those advisors. This is a trial balloon that should have never been flown.

We get enough of the gimicky crap with Trump. I am fed up with political stunts. If Biden wants my vote he needs to explain and apologise for his stances over race, abortion and Anita Hill.

So I am not buying it...

contenders to discuss their commitment to voting rights and to investing in Georgia”.

This is what it sounded like to me. A chance to discuss the obvious GOP plans to continue voter suppression in Georgia. She was the biggest victim of this; everyone should be meeting with Abrams.

...emerges that everyone coalesces around. I think Stacey has the most to lose by tying herself to Biden this early. If she really has VP aspirations, let the process play out, make her availability known, and see what happens. I don't know. Seems like a bit of a Hail Mary to me.
