She's in her 70s. She's from a Dem state. She would be more valuable in the Senate or Cabinet. The pick needs to help the ticket Electoral College vote wise.

is smarter than giving up the position of mayor? Not to say local government is not a priority, but for VP?

A heart beat from the presidency of the US?
A name no one knows?

No.

Biden needs to choose someone who will excite us.

Not someone who has us all saying "Who?"

She doesn't have nearly as much appeal (even in the AA community) as many on here seem to believe. But I'm sure she's extremely capable.

Biden should choose who he aligns with the most, and hopefully not another Senator.

She didn't endorse on Super Tuesday, even though Biden flew to Oakland that morning, and when she endorsed him a week later, she did it online on a Saturday night. This makes me think she doesn't want the job, which I can understand.

She doesn’t make much sense. She’s from a solid blue state and doesn’t put a swing state in play. Plus her history as a prosecutor won’t help attract progressives.
