7. There's a spectrum of possibilities.

I've been saying since last June that it would be a woman, though my favourite would be Stacey Abrams.

There are 3 or 4 key factors

1 Woman....just confirmed by Joe

2 POC .... A woman of colour would be a logical pick considering how women of colour saved Joe's campaign.

3 Enthusiasm for the pick

4 Progressive

At one end you have Amy, then Kamala, Stacey and Elizabeth.

Amy would be the least controversial, though least progressive but her Senatorial replacement would be a Democrat (Please, Al Franken !!!)

Kamala would hit at least 3 of the 4 above, and her replacement would be a Democrat.

Stacey would hit all 4 but is a bit of an unknown, but has been through the Georgia Republican dirt machine unscathed. And there would be no replacement issues.

Elizabeth, 3 out of 4, but there is a Republican governor in Massachusetts.




If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
