The reports have always been saying the announcement would be on August 7 or a little before.
O yeah Im not saying she has been pushing back timeline. Just seeing how well folks embraced Kamala with feeling there was no choice wonder if better to have just chosen someone super fast instead of now having disappointed Walz/Shapiro folks. Granted in scheme of things this is super fast so I imagine all the nastiness towards Shapiro for example would be largely forgotten by Ds in 3 more weeks. Not like a scenario when people were loving Bernie for months/years then felt super let down
Floating names and getting the response is part of the process. Happening in like 10 days vs normally several weeks.
Dems at risk of a negative surprise. It’s not like many of these folks were national candidates already (just Pete?).
Yeah that true, guess Harris was already as vetted as someone could be so nobody had to think too hard
Exactly. Imagine if everyone found out that Newsome used to be married to Kimberly.

This is perhaps an optimistic view from jbouie, but I will say it’s been awhile since I’ve seen him be wrong about something.
FWIW I think he was arguing to stick with Biden after the debate, and I found his arguments for it persuasive, which is why I leaned that way, too. But at least he was also pointing out that Kamala was the only realistic alternative, not some Newsom sweeping in fantasy.
lmao, this guy’s more credulous to Trump than John Roberts
It continues like this, the guy is clearly and sadly not well

Maybe they shouldn’t have told all those John McCain Republicans to get the hell out.
I’m glad they did!
