WSNJ: I think Shapiro is miles ahead of Walz so I'm interested in why he is still in the mix—Cooper and Shapiro where the real picks if I was in her shoes.

Walz is in the mix because he appears to be the choice of the far-left who don't like Shapiro because he is pro-school choice and pro-Israel. Also Walz (afaik) is the furthest left pick out of all the other potential contenders. And Cooper himself declined to be VP.

But yeah, Cooper and Shapiro would also be my top 2.

I'll believe it when I see a reputable source picking it up. But if true, I will defend him like I did Shapiro.

Walz......"The Choice of the Far-Left".

Bruh, people like Walz are literally the cornerstone of the Dem Party during the 40s-60s for better and for worse.

Shapiro and Walz is like the Kaine/Brown debate of yesteryear. Brown was the choice that actually makes sense when u think objectively about pleasing multiple electoral bases, Walz is similar in that regard. Kaine and Shapiro LOOK like good options on paper, but any scrutiny shows that its probably not gonna good idea

Looks like Walz is the pick. A whole entourage of SUVs are at his residence while Shapiro does not.

I said to a coworker the other day that if Harris isn't picking Shapiro, then it would be the greatest misdirection of a all time to have the first campaign stop with her VP pick in Philly. If true, then I was right.

I find Shapiro to be a bit cringe worthy. His Obama cadences are laughable but the undisputed fact that he helps her immensely in Pennsylvania seems like a no brainer to me. Walz is certainly that type of pick to get hardcore liberals or progressives on her side but my question is… does she really not have them?

I also find it interesting how an experienced congressional type was not picked much like the Pence/Biden picks. I suppose Kamala is very comfortable with the allies she’s made in Congress.

I'm a bit disappointed that Shapiro didn't end up getting picked, but nevertheless, I congratulate Walz on getting picked and hope he becomes the next VP.

RP:


This is probably due to the ideology of the district he used to represent, after all, his district is the same district that just elected a Republican by 12 points. I think once he became governor he shifted to the left...now he has the endorsement of Bernie Sanders and Pramila Jayapal...

And that's good. Proof of moderation to the center and center right, and proof of liberalism to the left.

Jason: Pour one out for Scott Kleeb.

I think Kleeb's wife is still running the Nebraska Democratic party, or she's on the verge or running it again.

Wherever Shane Sklar is, i'm sure he's still taking above average headshot photos (Sklar lost by 20% to Ron Paul in 2006)

I don't remember exactly how much optimism people had in Walz vs Gutknecht in 2006 but Walz won while Coleen Rowley and Elwyn Tinklenberg didn't

This proves, once again, that I can't predict who will win to save my life. Maybe I should predict who will win the Superbowl this year and you all bet against that team and win millions.

I think for posterity to show who was in consideration we shouldn't have all the others drop out. At least keep in the ones that had interviews with Kamala.

That's an interesting endorsement...they might've been buddies in Congress (Manchin is in the Senate and Walz was in the House). Another interesting one I see is Cenk Ugyur endorsing Shapiro...I can't think of a reasonable explanation there...

It's quite simple: This is the weirdest timeline where nothing makes sense anymore. I mean, come on. This is the same timeline where SONNY BONO was elected to Congress and Trump became president.

Eh, you do have a point there lol. Trump has over 90 charges and is still allowed to be a major party's nominee....where have we went wrong???? Like how did we get here????

There aren't a lot of men who are such bland dullards, that they can be counted on to never say anything to disrupt the DNC's shaky coalition of mutually warring tribes and assorted rich people.
With Tim Walz, the dial-tone like intellect, and the rotund, doughnut-digesting frame, are united in one shambling mound of anodyne irrelevancy.
