I will add though, that this particular Politico article is pretty good, with some really interesting names i hadn't thought about, and it's darn correct - there's quite a long list of highly qualified Democratic Fem Fantastiques for his picking. I have to agree re: Kamala. I'd be very surprised Joe goes with anyone else, and i also agree re: Warren being a great pick for Treasury. BUT i'd rather she stays in the Senate so we don't lose her seat. Leave the AG to my guy Preet. Such an accomplished USAG needs to be put to good use in service of the country.

Re: the female governors - Gretchen Whitmer, Laura Kelly, Michelle Lujan Grisham - damn they're talented women! The problem is they've only been at their posts for 2 years. NM & MI are swing states, and KS is a red state. I'd rather we keep them where they are. We need more Dem governors to thwart the GOP's continuing war for control of our state governments and implementing their conservative Christian agendas at the state level.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Warren as Attorney General would be trump's worst nightmare. Goodheart Mar 2020 #38

Nice list. There's not a woman on that list who would not make a fine President. NNadir Mar 2020 #45

I love Warren but we can't be down a Senator and risk that a GOP wins...like Scott Brown did. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #47

As I understand it, I could be wrong, a Governor's appointment is largely temporary in Massachusetts NNadir Mar 2020 #50
