My question was sincere. Just wondered if you had anyone in mind. I can't immediately think of anyone either but I'm sure there is someone more suitable than Abrams. What about Andrew Gillam? He just about won Florida's election for Governor.
I really have not given it much thought. Who votes for a VP? Abrams name was tossed around a lot by people here and in my opinion she does not push the ticket. Last 45 VPs were bland white men and no one votes for a VP. The idea that the VP has to be _______ or __________ may force a bad candidate (Pailin comes to mind). I am pretty sure the VP will NOT be one of the top 5 prez candidates
Stacey Abrams plans to be president by 2040 By Tyler Olson | Fox News Video Democrat Stacey Abrams, who lost the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election to Republican Brian Kemp, said in an interview released Friday that she has a "plan" to be president of the United States by 2040. In the FiveThirtyEight interview, part of a series of stories about women running for office, Abrams discusses how race and gender played a role in her failed run for governor and the rumors that she could be a vice presidential candidate. But it was her comments about an even higher office that grabbed the most attention.

(AP Photo/Carlos Osorio) STACEY ABRAMS AGAIN CLAIMS SHE WON GEORGIA'S GOVERNOR'S RACE: 'I'M NOT' A GOOD SPORT "Do you think the country will elect a woman president in the next 20 years?" asked reporter Clare Malone. "Yes, absolutely," Abrams replied flatly. "Do you think it will elect a black woman?" Malone asked. "Yes, absolutely," Abrams said. "Do you think they'll elect you?" "Yes, I do. That's my plan. And I'm very pragmatic," Abrams replied as Malone chuckled. Abrams has never held an office higher than a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives, although she did spend several years as a member of the Democratic leadership of that body. Abrams gained national fame for her contentious election against Kemp in 2018 — a race that was seen as a potential bellwether for Republicans in right-leaning states nationwide during what was a wave election year for Democrats.

"Despite the final tally and the inauguration [of Gov. Brian Kemp] and the situation we find ourselves in, I do have a very affirmative statement to make: We won," she told the crowd at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network last April. Abrams and Democrats accused Kemp, the then-Secretary of State, of voter suppression for purging inactive voter registrations from voter rolls. Kemp responded that his office "conduct regular list maintenance of voter rolls to ensure election integrity," as required by federal and state law. The former lawmaker has still not conceded the election and has indicated that she does not plan to. "We don’t have to concede elections anymore, because when we concede, we are condoning systems that are used to oppress us," she said last May according to the Texas Tribune.
I think a black vp would gotten more black voters to the polls for Hillary.Hillary closely matched Obamas 2012 numbers in every way except black voter turnout.
Wow. What a mess this BootyBoy thing is. All the lefties here, in the media, and elsewhere are back to chirping again at how he is surging in Iowa too (haven't we been there once with him already?) That's fine. Then the next posts or articles you read are the lefties chirping about how the candidate who gets the black vote is going to be the one to win. Yeh. Okay. What does Booty have for black vote so far? Less than a dozen people that he paid to sit in the front row of every rally or what? Man, if you are planning on Booty winning, you better have a plan beyond NH that gets him the black vote. Or is that looking too far down the road and you tards just savor his little victories in the two whitey-tighty states where he campaigned. "So far, this is not looking good." James Carville.
