My wife asked me about a VP for Bernie just the other day and I had a hard time with that, but I thought maybe Susan Rice might be an interesting choice. She'd inject some foreign policy expertise, but she's not held an elected office though.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, Hillary's got ties to Arkansas, Illinois and New York already, so I guess Western is the only place she would need coverage on.
I see Bernie as more likely to pick someone based more on them sharing his values than any geographic concerns, but I could be wrong.
I don't know if geographic balance is as important as it once was. Didn't Romney and Ryan lose all of the states they had local ties to?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Saw the doctor for my sinus infection. Here's an example of why he's Dr. Awesome:
Me: Basically, it feels like the Hulk is standing on my face.
Dr. Awesome: So, is that the Hulk when he's a big green rage monster, or just a guy?
Me: Does the answer make a difference, clinically? Because it would still hurt if just a guy stood on my face.
Dr. Awesome: It doesn't make a clinical difference, but it might say something about your psyche.
So I have antibiotics, because he agreed that if this hasn't gone away in 4 weeks, it's likely not viral. Whee, antibiotics.
I still have to vote later, but I have work to finish first.

I'm annoyed with everyone and everything this morning, and I have to write my annual review today. There may be some causation there.

Shrift, I hope you're writing it from home!
I feel like there are a lot of House and Senate seats up for re-election this year? In a perfect world, we'd get out of the Republican super-majority situation and maybe more things would get done? Or am I wrong/naive?

Teppy, I love your doctor.
As for VP, I'm not sure an all-woman ticket would be a good thing, sadly. The chaos lover in my would love to see Bill as VP, just to watch heads explode. I'm not familiar enough with the rest of the Democratic field to know who would be good VP material.

Joe Biden can be VP again! I dunno, Cory Booker maybe?

I wouldn't be surprised if Warner or Kane were on the shortlist, to tip Virginia.

I am a HUGE Cory Booker fan, so I would love that, and he's been campaigning for her all over the place. But he doesn't necessarily help her with demographics where she's weak.
