I’ll be thrilled with any of the front runners. For me Andy and Shapiro are young, handsome, articulate. I think they’d keep the enthusiasm going.
Kelly is a solid safe choice. But kind of boring, like Tim Kaine.
Cooper seems kind of dusty too. But he’d be fine.
I just think Andy or someone not from a swing state would project confidence.
