Sen. Amy Klobuchar: "Our campaign now has skyrocketed -- or I shouldn't say skyrocketed, that's not me. We have gradually improved to 5th place now."

1. Nice.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Amy is smart, talented, moderate, and checks both the Midwest and female boxes for those who need those particular marks.

She would make a fine part of the ticket, in either slot.

18. Not in Iowa...

Her trajectory isn’t rising at a rate that will put her in contention by Caucus night(min 15% needed for viability)

[judeling]

22. Which one

3 6 9 12 15%

3 6 12 24 48%

She is gaining, will it be enough by the caucus who knows.

2. I think she was great at the last debate. Unfortunately, she has not been able to break through

the top tier.

[squirecam]

5. It's november

Voting is in February. Plenty of debates and time until then.

3. Watch for Amy

She’s on the move. She will befuddle the GOP.

[LakeArenal]

4. Just might be my second choice.

❣️Amy.

❣️ Pete, too.

[squirecam]

6. Well

Joe/Amy will be a great ticket.

[MaryMagdaline]

7. Agreed!

[squirecam]

8. I think

Joe/Amy makes the most sense.

I could also see Joe/Abrams.

It won’t be Joe/Pete. He will be under tremendous pressure to pick a female VP and Amy makes the most sense in terms of ideology and Midwest roots.

[LakeArenal]

10. Love the idea. But then I love Katie Porter

I also think four years of VP for Pete would be wonderful.

And I honestly think it’s just as much a candidate like Pete’s time in history as it is a woman’s.

Sorry to my sisters out there. It’s just an opinion. No reason to take offense.

[squirecam]

11. But

Biden will need to pick a younger female VP, just as Obama picked an elder statesman.

Two men on the ticket won’t fly this year. And I’m a guy.

[MaryMagdaline]

12. Good outreach to the Midwest as well.

Amy’s well liked in the Midwest

[CTyankee]

19. Yup. She's good to go in the Midwest, IMO. Hubby's from WI and I know it pretty well.

Klobuchar might be good on a ticket with Cory Booker. It would show the nexus of urban communities with those struggling white communities in the midwest.

[LakeArenal]

14. That's your opinion. You may or may not be right.

For me, either way I’m good. Depending on who the woman is or who the man is.

My only sure bet is Joe. No matter who he picks, I’m guessing will be great.

[MustLoveBeagles]

9. Yep

I like her a lot. She'd make an excellent President or VP.

[Green Line]

16. I like that ticket

[MaryMagdaline]

13. Funny she has ancestry from Slovenia

They used to send their best

[AdamGG]

15. Amy has become my 1st choice, but I wonder if there's a charisma dynamic that keeps her down

I'd liked her all along, but realized at the last debate that I really trust her stability/instincts/knowledge/energy, agree with her approach on health care, and think she may be the most electable candidate in a general election.

But, I wonder if there's something about a lack of dynamism in her presentation that's keeping her down among the primary candidates. I'd like her to win, but I'm skeptical that a distant 5th in Iowa, when she's from the next state over, will translate into strong finishes in the super Tuesday states.

[Iggo]

17. That's funny.

Good one, Sen Klobuchar.

[DAMANgoldberg]

20. She would be part of my Trio

Joe Biden - President
Kamala Harris - Vice President
Amy Klobuchar - Attorney General

I can live with Kamala and Amy switching positions.
Plus this gets Al Franken back where he belongs, the Senate.
California has a deep bench too.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. I really like Amy, and could definitely see supporting her if Biden were to leave the race. nt

[Chambi]

23. I like Amy

She has a bright future.
