No matter the intent or how they try to spin it, it’s just a fact that choosing Lance-Bottoms would be seen as a huge slap in the face to Abrams. Biden would need to carefully think about — well, okay, Biden’s advisors would need to carefully think about — if they really want to send that particular signal.

It’s also just a fact that being Mayor of a medium-large city for 2.5 years has never been thought of as the basis for a VP-resume for anyone else. The City of Atlanta’s population is smaller than the State of Wyoming or the City of Fresno: decent-sized municipality by most measures but nothing like being a Governor. What the media sometimes calls “Atlanta” is way more than the City itself.

Be it Harris or Lance-Bottoms, Abrams would probably see her de-selection being related to her weight. TBH, I'm not sure how Stacey is any more qualified than Keisha.

How dare you Sir.

If you cannot reach it to wash it, it cannot smell good.

1. Less “shame” in being passed over for someone (Harris) who has won three statewide elections in California, two of them as a non-incumbent.

2. I think Lance-Bottoms is more qualified than Abrams. Even so: Abrams and her fan club already believe she has been “cheated” out of being Governor of Georgia. To then be passed over for this promotion (after lobbying and campaigning for it in such an overt/public way) in favor of someone from her own state, who was not even in the discussion until five minutes ago, would be humiliating. It just would.

Wonder when Obama steps in and demands Sloe Joe name Mayor Betelgeuse from Chicago as his running mate.

Kamala already has passed the "hide the sausage" test. Dementia Joe may be slow but understands that if Abrams if given the same chance, that he would be Bobbitted before he could remember that his third leg had value.

that is too much to hope for.

But it does raise an interesting point: if Obama said to Jill Biden, “Joe really needs to pick ________” that would be the end of the discussion, right then and right there. It honestly wouldn’t even matter, IMHO, who the person was. Just knowing that Obama wanted them to be on the ticket would be enough.

I'm just shocked that it hasn't been bandied about already. First woman, first black, and first homosexual Vice President? That's a liberal's wet dream.
