7. Warren was my first choice for president, but we need her in the Senate.

We have a chance at taking a majority, but if Republicans hold the Senate Mitch McConnell will see that nothing gets passed. He will hold up cabinet appointments and no judges will be approved.

Massachusetts has a Republican governor and he would appoint a Republican to the Senate until an election is held months later. Massachusetts is not guaranteed to elect a Democratic senator—remember Scott Brown. Plus, Massachusetts will vote Democratic for president, so Warren doesn't bring a state along. If we have a safe Senate majority, I would love to see Warren in a key cabinet position.

I think we need a VP candidate from a swing state.
