I say that only because the lift effect may not actually turn it into a locked swing state. NC has been more lean-right than a true swing state so it’s, in my mind, riskier than picking the PA governor for the reasons that you highlight. But regardless, I think any of Shapiro, Cooper or Kelly would be a great balance to the ticket and i would not at all be disappointed with any of them. Honestly it’s an embarrassment of riches with regards to potential VPs and a great position for Democrats.
Because it’s not a good idea. They select him and don’t convert Republican voters, lose a good portion of the progressive base and only get marginal, less reliable, swing voters with that move. That’s at least a ten point loss right there.
It’s going to be a safe bet like Josh Shapiro or, slightly less safe, Cooper.
I agree with you on people working in election offices having integrity by and large but the Ohio Republicans did actually try to pull a fast one this election cycle. Fortunately DeWine knew it was beyond the pale.
You’re absolutely correct. I was under the assumption that states pre printed ballots based on the presumptive nominees. Apparently states that do that are being naughty/cutting corners.
Yup. That’s exactly what they tried already
Republicans will pull some shenanigans in at least one state to keep Biden on the ballot. My bet is Ohio. So, a non trivial amount.
Yeah, I’m getting whiplash from the talking points all around me.
I respect that perspective but Desantis did fail miserably. As far as a larger opinion, refer to my response to morph in this thread. Yes, California is a different league of gubernatorial duties. He has the juice but my gut says he doesn’t have the household name recognition and can’t build that in three months.
With a two year lead for campaigning and news coverage to become a household name. I actually like Newsom and California is as good as a test for executive leadership as anything else a politician can do but this timing is not good for him to actually win.
A politician who’s only really known in one state and another octogenarian? No thank you.
I don’t really get the down votes. They genuinely said it was an odd question and this election cycle is already fucking weird.
