11. He's certainly a very interesting choice. He'd be a slam dunk choice if he were from NC or OH.

I simply have no idea what specifically Hillary wants in her VP. For the longest time I thought she would select a Latino/Latina as her running mate; but I don't think she is worried about that voting bloc flipping to Trump. As such, I think she will select a VP to shore up her support with the far left members of the party or she will select one who will help her in swing states. I don't know if Moulton is that person but I suppose he could be.
