I know this is premature but who would you pick? My choice is Gavin Newsom of California.

I think it's much more likely that she will choose a Latino or African American running mate. Julian Castro is currently considered the most likely choice.

Julian is a great choice. Could Joe Biden be Vice again?

Castro would be a brilliant choice for Hillary (and I say that as one of this board's token conservatives).
By the way, hello PJ and Horse Tears. Hope you're both well. I haven't been able to post much lately-just started graduate school!

I love the idea of Gavin Newsom. Every single time I hear him speak, I wonder when he's going to try to run for president.

Gavin Newsom has his sights set on California governor in 2018. He's already begun campaigning in earnest. I really don't see him being Hillary's choice. I'm in the Castro camp, myself.

I'd like to see both Newsom & Castro serve at least 1 term as governor of CA & TX respectively before entering presidential politics. One of the knocks against Obama is that his team and he were simply not ready to govern after winning the election. It took them too long to place key people as heads of certain federal agencies. I write this a fan of both Hillary and Obama. His long game has been impressive though.
Hillary needs someone on the ticket who can put OH, PA, and VA in the win column for the Dem's. She'd carry CA w/o Newsome. As PJ is fond of reminding us...it's all about 270!

PJ - very curious about your skepticism of Castro? Obviously he would not bring Texas, but he certainly is a good speaker and would appeal to a constituency.

Not at all skeptic...Julian Castro is a POTUS-in-the-making. He needs a little more TX-seasoning though and some separation from both Obama and Hillary. TX will need him when George P. Bush (son of Jeb) decides that the TX governorship is part of his inheritance. Ann Richards was the last non-GOP governor of that great state in what seems like a millennium ago.

PJ was skeptical of Biden, not Castro.

Doodle - lack of activity has dulled my BWW skills.
I want Biden to be my uncle that comes over for holidays!

Oops...didn't mean to speak on behalf of PJ. I somehow thought the question was directed at me. Wasn't wearing my glasses. #prematureseniormoment

brd! You screwed up the joke...you should've said "adult diapers".
Then my response would've been...depends!
I assumed it was a wrinkle in the internet.

I have no skepticism about our next vice president, Julian Castro!
Biden was the one I said who brings nothing to the 2016 ticket.

Agreed - love Biden - he should do well in GOTV next year.
Picked Castro years ago - actually back then I just said one of the Castro brothers.

Castro might be perceived as being a little young for that spot.

I hope you're wrong!
The one thing the GOP has going for it is youth. People look at the Democrats and they see a bunch of cranky old grandpas and one tough grandma. They Republicans seem to all be in their 40s, the way JFK and his brothers seemed young to the early baby boomers.
Castro would bring youth and a Latino heritage to the Democratic tickets, both of which they'll desperately need if Rubio is on the GOP ticket.

Maybe young was the wrong word; inexperienced perhaps to take over the president's seat if something should happen to her. Don't get me wrong. I like Castro. I am just trying to think like the voters who tend to be older.
