Liz Peek: Biden's VP choice – this is why he's ditheringThe contenders on Biden's short list all have impressive bios – and serious shortcomingsJoe Biden is dithering. He was supposed to tap his running mate the first week of August, but has now postponed the announcement to Aug. 10. It’s the first consequential decision of his campaign, one that could determine whether he wins or loses in November, and he’s blowing it.The extension, and the ongoing uncertainty it suggests, casts Biden as wobbly.It also reduces any zip that the eventual announcement might have. It’s not a great beginning for a candidate constantly tweeting that the country needs “strong leadership.â€Granted, that’s a lot to read from a one-week delay. But, after all, we don’t know much about Biden 2020’s governing style or how he makes decisions. He has held but few give-and-takes with the press in recent months – most notably declining to be interviewed by the New York Times or Fox News’ Chris Wallace, or anyone else who might actually ask some tough questions.Here’s what we do know: almost certainly Biden will pick a woman of color; he has no choice. He owes his nomination to black voters, and they have demanded a seat at the table.The short list of potential running mates now includes Sen. Kamala Harris, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, California Rep. Karen Bass, who leads the Congressional Black Caucus, Florida Rep. Val Demings and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.<..snip..>https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-vice-president-pick-dithering-liz-peek

Of the group, his best choice to help him get elected is Val Demmings. She'd give him 537 votes in Florida that he might not otherwise get. The one I fear is Michelle. I don't think Oprah has the stomach for it but what the heck do I know.
Who will Biden select for VP?Gumby.
I was always a fan of Pokey myself.
