The Joe Biden Presidency II : He's too old...or something like that!

Come on....Conor Lamb can't be considered in any serious conversation....Let's not waste our time on this.

 

In the meantime, money is still pouring at Act Blue...

48 hours later.

With the standards for being considered a VP candidate so low, song219 is withdrawing his refusal to be considered for the position.

 

Well, lets be fair:

NC ain't coming blue this time around, so Cooper brings nothing to the ticket.
Kentucky ain't coming blue this time around, so Beshear brings nothing to the ticket. [Better for him to go after the Senate seat in that state.]
Pritzker's in a DEEP blue state, and he's less popular outside IL than inside. He brings nothing.
Kelly's got some positives, but he's now a "Washington Insider," which is a negative for low information imbeciles.
Whitmer's female, and in a blue state. One is a negative to the ticket, the other means she won't add anything to the ticket.
Newsom's from CA, so that's not a possibility.
Shapiro's Jewish.
Buttigieg ain't hetero.


Lamb has no less of a "Q Rating" than some on this list, and higher than others. He's a vet, so that neutralizes the one "positive" Vance may have. He's also a hetero/white/married/swing state type.

Why NOT him at least being shortlisted ahead of some on this list that either add nothing, or have easy negatives against them?

 

As a former congressman, wouldn't he also be seen as a Washington insider?

 

Unfortunately, when opinions are formed in one's arsehole instead of their brain, there is not much someone else can do to shape them.

Two of probably the top 3 issues the right is coalescing around are simply made up - the economy and crime, including crime committed by migrants. While another big issue they talked about endlessly - the oldest POTUS candidate ever - has totally backfired.

 

Good speech just now in Milwaukee....

...all of a sudden Democrats are back with a chance.

 

But Kelly is needed in Arizona.

 

Is there a reason why you think NC can't go blue this time around? The Republican for NC Governor is about as whackadoo as possible. Obviously, never count your chickens and what not, but the guy has said that slavery was good for Blacks, that women should stay in the kitchen, and that they need to start killing liberals... That's bound to put some people off, right?

 

OK:

Cooper and Bashear are a statewide executives.... Still from NC/KY, which won't come Blue.
Pritzker's a statewide executive. He's still unpopular outside IL, and he's from a deep blue state.
Kelly's got the veteran and name recognition positives, but he's now a "Washington Insider," which is a negative for low information imbeciles.
Whitmer's a state executive. But she's female, and in a blue state. One is a negative to the ticket, the other means she won't add anything to the ticket.
Newsom's a state executive, photogenic, and has name recognition. But, he's from CA, so that's not a possibility.
Shapiro's a state executive in a winnable large swing state. Still Jewish.
Buttigieg is a veteran, and has a platform I like. He still ain't hetero.

 

Not as much as someone who was MARRIED to a congresscritter before joining the Senate.

 

Agreed that their attack has backfired, somewhat.

We'll see what the GOP agree upon to parrot off each other NEXT, and what Fox will talk about endlessly. Give it a ~week or so.

But crime IS an issue, and people don't like crime; having a former DA on the ticket is a bonus, when the opponent is a convicted felon.

 

OK....We got it.....Conor Lamb is the chosen one.. Are you Conor Lamb in disguise?
Hey Conor, I can bet with you, if there is a list you are way down there, may be number 350 or something. behind Seth Moulton or Dean Philips.....

 

He can be replaced by the democratic governor. His replacement will serve until the end of Kelly's term in 2026.

 

I’m backing whatever VP candidate promises to get rid of VAR.

 

1. Southern. Or, should I say, "southern," as in what VA was, a ~decade or so ago [in the pre-"Macaca" days]. By 2028 or 2032? Maybe NC could conceivably turn blue.
2. The polls say that it won't.
3. Those people voted in noted piece of shyte Thom Thillis.

 

Nope.

But Lamb >> Pritzker, and I voted for Pritzker. He would also bring the potential of winning a swing state, whereas neither Bashear, nor Cooper would. He also doesn't have some of the evident negatives that Whitmer or Shapiro carry.


That said, of your short list, I guess I'd go Shapiro. If not, why not Lamb?

 

Arizona's governor is a Democrat, so if Kelly were the VP nominee and Harris/Kelly won, he would be replaced by a Democrat. Arizona state laws says a special election would need to be held to permanently fill the seat at the next general election which means the replacement would be in place until 2026.

Actually,NC went for the felon by 1.34% in 2020. Cooper won the same year by 4.5% and is pretty popular. The idea that NC can't flip is pretty ludicrous. If Cooper is win the ticket, it will precisely for that. Not to mention that the current GOP nominee for governor is a complete whack job, even by maga standards.

 

You bring up Seth….

I’m guessing your opinion of him is low, even outside the VP conversation?

 

Dude, give it a rest.....
