Elizabeth Warren?...Bernie Sanders?...Tim Kaine?...Julian Castro?...Sherrod Brown?...Corey Booker?...Al Franken?...
If I was forced to put money on who Hillary Clinton will pick as her running mate/veep, I think I'd ultimately go with the person who best simultaneously accomplishes two specific things:
1. Represents/reinforces the image Hillary wants/needs to project upon her own self (i.e. a true progressive who also works across the aisle to get things done).
2. Is unquestionably qualified to step in as President of the United States.
In many ways I think it comes down to a very similar calculus to what Bill Clinton used to pick Al Gore as his running mate in '92.
So, with that, my pick for Hillary's pick is Sen. Amy Klobuchar (MN). And I will add, she's probably the most likable/natural person Hillary could choose as well - thus making her a Joe Biden-esque pick too!
