I think there is some unconscious "She'll need a man to steady her" thinking going on in the minds of some people who will be willing to vote for Hillary that will get kicked if she picked Warren.
Plus, Darth Cheney and his shadow government aside, I don't think VP is the post Warren should be aiming at.
Timelies all!
Keeping an eye on the little guy as he roams around the computer room, occasionally drooling on/blowing raspberries on/biting my leg. Ah, the joys of teething...
Stop chewing on mom, little guy.
I'm not able to be objective about a Clinton/Warren ticket. For me it is a dream team. The excitement level, and pulling more of the youth Bernie crew would be a plus. Seeing Warren debate Pence, seriously! Yet some of the males in my world think it is too much and that the voting public isn't ready for a 2 woman ticket. Me, I am like RBG, as in her feeling that 9 is an appropriate number of women on the supreme court. Why the hell not? Hillary and Elizabeth are so much more acceptable than Donald and Mike. But I accept, not at all objective on the subject.
I think it's a valid concern, along with "maybe she'd be more powerful in the senate". I'll be super disappointed if she picks Tim Kaine or some other boring white dude though.

This is my fear. Clinton-Warren is my dream team, but I am definitely not representative of the voting public.
I honestly believe that Warren is doing a far more important and effective job in the Senate than she could ever do as a Vice-President.
That's also a big thing to consider, yeah.
I think a white man will help the ticket. Maybe Hispanic male. I don't anyone from the house or senate tapped.
I am already excited to vote for Hillary. What I want is for her to pick someone that will excite people who aren't there. I don't know who the best pick is for that purpose. Who does she need more, the left, the youth, the blue collar, the elderly? I have to trust that surrounds herself with people that can answer that question better than I. Does Warren bring as much or more of a downside than an upside? I just don't know.
I agree with Tom. I think a young male, preferably someone that young voters find exciting would be a good choice.
