She was my pick initially for the top spot, but I was disappointed in how she did in the debates. I'm delighted. She was in the top position all along because of their relationship. Onwards to the election. Can it be tomorrow please?

ltc just ended her birthday by puking during dinner. Poor thing.

Oh, that's no fun for anybody. Especially on a birthday!

What is even happening?
She always seemed like the obvious pick, but I'm still really happy to see it. Warren has always my favorite in the primaries, but I think Kamala is the better veep pick.
This is exactly how I feel, Gud. I even phone banked for Warren during the primary.
I'm seeing some butthurt Warren supporters on Twitter, but most of them are being grownups. I don't know how they thought she would usher in leftie Dem utopia as VP when Biden ran on being not extreme.
Besides, I don't understand how people thought two white, septuagenarians from small East Coast states were going to ignite the country.
I hope she gets a great cabinet post, or (in my fantasies) unseats the turtle as Senate Majority Leader, but I'm happy with Harris.
In fact, while I would not have been sad if Biden picked Warren, the Kamala Harris announcement has left me feeling legitimately happy and hopeful. I think had he picked Warren, I'd be (more) worried.

Thanks, Cindy! At this time it's hard not to immediately panic.

For any worried about the ticket being too moderate. Harris has been more progressive in the Senate than Warren or Sanders. [link]

I would be happy to see Warren as Commerce Secretary.
Poor ltc. So much excitement.

This. I don't see Warren significantly expanding Biden's efforts to get minority voters to the polls, for example, whereas I think Harris will do that well. I think she'll make an excellent running mate, and I've been hoping she would be the choice.
