(43,545 posts)45. well IF the top of the ticket is male (deffo NOT a sure thing) then I so hope a female is picked as
VP. IF Biden is the nominee, I think the smart play would be Abrams, as that potentially puts GA, NC, FL REALLY into the realm of possibility.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Modern VPs get actual jobs to do. Gore, Cheney and Biden were all pretty busy.
