    Whitmer has always made a lot of sense; she would have been my guess for not-Harris in May. But if she was a top-tier option, then Biden camp erred in allowing veepstakes coverage to develop in a way that makes Whitmer a let down to many Dem activistshttps://apnews.com/65025dc16aa18353cf868658d9b2314a …

        Though if Whitmer is *not* the pick, then elevating her at this stage may actually have that exact effect, and make the eventual nominee more palatable to many of the Dem activists who might have been disappointed by Whitmer

        Surely even those who would be very, very disappointed by a white moderate can see the case: from a critical swing state, reinforces your central coronavirus critique of Trump, plausibly 'sympatico' w Biden, and, yes, she does have some charismahttps://twitter.com/CampaignDiaries/status/1292152669902118912?s=20 …

        Whitmer is the most boring milquetoast person on any ticket, democratic or republican in over 4 decades.

        Flipping this around for a second, a friend makes a clever case that the backlash winds up helping Biden by highlighting his independence from progressives

        I think that's a bit too clever to really be the campaign calculation, and a gamble would generally violate 'do no harm' type principles. But it's not a crazy argument either, given that the Trump campaign's only argument recently seems to be that Biden's a vassal of the left

        I don’t get it either. Whitmer brings absolutely nothing to the table: does not appeal to a natural Dem coalition, has no national experience and comes from a state that is unlikely to be a swing state this time around.

        The importance of the vp pick is systematically over-estimated, unless it's an overt error, like Palin.

        you’re not gonna placate progressives more by picking kamala, rice, hell even warren (they hate her), rather than whitmer
