I just saw Beshear on CNN. I'm not a fan based on 5 minutes of seeing him. -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 22, 18:39
VP want: Mark Kelly, expect: Andy Beshear -- nm - mud Jul 22, 18:01
Election nerd fun fact: if Kelly is selected as VP and they win, it will trigger a special election in 2026. - Tim Jul 22, 18:00 2
- that's amazing -- nm - prayformojo Jul 22, 18:08 1
  - oh wait, eight cycles, the current Sinema seat would be up again in 2030 -- nm - Tim Jul 22, 18:32
Both want and expect: Mayor Pete. Every time I read about another Midwestern/swing state moderate, I fail to see who they are supposed to impress. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 17:43 6
- A black woman and a gay man running together can't win. Not yet. Soon, but not yet. He can run in four or eight years. It's not his turn. -- nm - amandaphone Jul 22, 17:59 5
  - too many ceilings all at once. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 18:02 4
    - It's true. I don't care. But many others do. -- nm - amandaphone Jul 22, 18:08 3
      - We are on the same page. I would love to see it. It's not going to happen. - znufrii Jul 22, 18:22 2
        
        i wish the math was there for him to run for senate in Indiana but he'd be a solid Sec of Defense if he wanted to keep doing the cabinet position -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 22, 18:23 1
        
        Yeah. I feel that he'd do well in the Senate, for sure. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 22, 18:28
Want: Shapiro. Expect: no clue -- nm - mara Jul 22, 17:18 6
- I need shapiro for me! For me!! - amandaphone Jul 22, 17:50 5
  - That seems to be the general feeling among people around here. Pick someone else. You can take our Shapiro from our cold dead hands. -- nm - Dano Jul 22, 18:04 3
    - my understanding is there's a weird thing about the way he oversees the state senate that makes it bad if he vacates the governorship -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 22, 18:27 2
      - President pro tempore of the Senate (an R) becomes LG because of PA's line of succession rules. - Tim Jul 22, 18:36 1
        
        i think Beshear is the cleanest pick, all things being equal (unless he thinks he's got a legit shot at Mitch's senate seat) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 22, 18:38
  - Ahhhh. Hmmm. -- nm - mara Jul 22, 17:53
If Mark Kelly's on the ticket, his Jeopardy loss to Aaron Rodgers will certainly be included in the oppo research. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 22, 17:01
