I heard it's down to Cooper or Kelly. RandySF Jul 26 #1

What happened to rule out Shapiro? Blaukraut Jul 26 #2

We're winning or tied in Penn. kerry-is-my-prez Jul 26 #9

As long as it's not Cooper Blaukraut Jul 26 #10

Blaukraut ... Upthevibe Jul 27 #33

I understand the sentiment, but that's not Grown2Hate Jul 27 #41

My millennial sons want it to be Cooper. yardwork Jul 27 #49

He's a decent governor but he's borelax. Excitement 0. bullimiami Jul 27 #53

IYO. We won't know until it's announced, Ocelot II Jul 26 #3

Alex Wagner just reported MiKenMi33 Jul 26 #6

Alex Wagner reported MiKenMi33 Jul 26 #13

"Sources familiar with the campaign." Unnamed sources, that is. Ocelot II Jul 26 #16

Damn straight! WheelWalker Jul 26 #28

Just reported based on what? anciano Jul 26 #14

I trust her judgment. multigraincracker Jul 26 #7

I agree 100%. gab13by13 Jul 26 #12

Same. I just want a candidate that gives us the best chance of winning. FlyingPiggy Jul 27 #65

I live in Pa. gab13by13 Jul 26 #11

The big question- It's like a game of Pick-up Sticks. What will the removal of Shapiro do to the balance of power in PA? NBachers Jul 26 #17

We must have PA...thus Shapiro is the best choice. And he is pro-union. Demsrule86 Jul 27 #58

He is the only one who is likely to cause an intra-party schism (Israel/Palestinian conflict, plus school vouchers) Celerity Jul 27 #93

The prob with picking Shapiro is that he just got there Tarc Jul 26 #15

No, Shapiro didn't just get there, per Wiki; gab13by13 Jul 26 #18

To be clear, Mastriano is a whackjob of a whackjob. RandomNumbers Jul 27 #57

If we don't win the presidency, there will be no stability anywhere. Demsrule86 Jul 27 #60

I don't like the sex scandal Shapiro is being questioned on now.. DemocratInPa Jul 26 #19

There is no such thing as a perfect candidate, gab13by13 Jul 26 #20

Well neither did vance... edisdead Jul 26 #21

Then they can do that with anyone FlyingPiggy Jul 26 #23

pretty much. edisdead Jul 27 #56

DemocratInPa ........ Upthevibe Jul 27 #34

Someone in his admin. I think. yorkster Jul 27 #37

Someone in his staff was accused of sexual harassment Kaleva Jul 27 #38

Kaleva............ Upthevibe Jul 27 #40

No Kaleva Jul 27 #42

And there was a 295K pay off to the victim... DemocratInPa Jul 27 #66

Do you think JS was aware of it and did nothing? Kaleva Jul 27 #68

I am not sure, but it happened to one of his top aides, so.. DemocratInPa Jul 27 #71

Oh, c'mon. ARandomPerson Jul 27 #72

I am not trying to smear him FFS DemocratInPa Jul 27 #73

Settlements in cases like this mean almost nothing. ARandomPerson Jul 27 #74

Must be why there have been Democratic women in PA already going against him for VP.. DemocratInPa Jul 27 #75

Evidence? ARandomPerson Jul 27 #80

I think a former SOS came out also DemocratInPa Jul 27 #82

So a woman (singular) not women (plural)? ARandomPerson Jul 27 #83

I am sure there will be more DemocratInPa Jul 27 #84

You're sure? Oh well, in that case ... C'mon, be serious. ARandomPerson Jul 27 #86

Just take the risk, I mean.. DemocratInPa Jul 27 #87

Democrats can't just eat our own every time something makes us nervous. ARandomPerson Jul 27 #88

He is also getting a ton of backlash on social media about this.. DemocratInPa Jul 27 #89

"Backlash on social media" ARandomPerson Jul 27 #94

I doubt that...there is no sex scandal...a sexual harrassment suit was settled...end of story. Demsrule86 Jul 27 #61

I just hope we slow play the naming of the VP edisdead Jul 26 #22

You mean to be announced at the convention? FlyingPiggy Jul 26 #24

Or just before it. edisdead Jul 27 #59

The more I see of Cooper the more I think it will be him Tribetime Jul 26 #25

I heard Walz LZ1234 Jul 26 #27

Yes I think Walz it will be Tribetime Jul 26 #31

Isn't Shapiro in favor of school vouchers? Patterson Jul 26 #29

Doesn't Harris will be Kaleva Jul 27 #39

Yep Emile Jul 27 #45

Really? Not an expert but I read it as a desperate attempt to get SOME school funding RandomNumbers Jul 27 #62

I think Tim Walz...Davig Hogg was recommending him for the youth vote Tribetime Jul 26 #30

What is it that would have the youth voting for him ? Genuine question. OnDoutside Jul 27 #43

Just ghosting Bashear like that? Arthur_Frain Jul 27 #32

Governor of North Carolina. mucholderthandirt Jul 27 #46

Roy Cooper, very popular Democratic governor in R-controlled state. yardwork Jul 27 #50

Interesting take. He is like your favorite uncle. JanMichael Jul 27 #85

I heard it's down to one! BluesRunTheGame Jul 27 #47

Cooper is 67. I think we need someone younger. pinkstarburst Jul 27 #48

That is a consideration, but others might see it differently. yardwork Jul 27 #51

Maybe. I just know that what happened this year pinkstarburst Jul 27 #70

This is a really good point. ARandomPerson Jul 27 #91

Mark Kelly is out of this world. He could make this campaign take off. He could put rocket boosters on this ticket. Doodley Jul 27 #52

Based on what, exactly? MineralMan Jul 27 #54

I would choose Shapiro... Demsrule86 Jul 27 #55

I have a feeling lizardkingjr Jul 27 #63

Cooper is a good guy. But the wrong choice in this election Thrill Jul 27 #69

See John Edwards of NC. n/t OneBlueDotS-Carolina Jul 27 #76

We don't know. themaguffin Jul 27 #77

We need Kelly in the Senate!!! The Senate is critical this year, and we need all the senators we can get!!! BComplex Jul 27 #78
