My reaction is that none of this matters one whit until Kamala actually becomes the nominee. An event I'll personally be greatly surprised to see.

He's not half as radical as her, and Jewish. Wonder how that'll play out.

NATIONAL REVIEW:
Don’t Fall for Josh Shapiro’s Act as a Competent Moderate
By Joseph D’Orsie
July 25, 2024 5:04 PM
Quote
Take it from a Pennsylvanian: Our governor would make a pernicious addition to the Democratic presidential ticket.

If slick PR, empty slogans, and a cringeworthy cadence that mimics Barack Obama’s is what you think would round out a Harris presidential ticket, then Josh Shapiro is your man. If, on the other hand, you prefer proven leadership and tangible results, you’d have to look elsewhere. As a member of Pennsylvania’s state legislature, I’ve had an eagle-eyed view of the man who, in the chaotic weeks leading up to the Democratic National Convention, appears to be a contender for the VP slot. I haven’t been impressed.

Shapiro is a classic politician — from his political-science undergraduate degree to his postcollegiate career, which has been completely political and with no “real world” experience to speak of. In this sense, he is a Joe Biden replica of the non-bumbling and -shuffling type. In an era when the Democratic Party has been ruled and thus patronized by an elitist political class, a vote cast for Josh Shapiro would be a vote cast for the status quo.

Governor Shapiro’s term has been marked more by style than substance, so he excels at platitudes. He likes to “get sh** done,” as he has repeatedly stated. I’m not sure if the faux edginess of this comment was his own idea or whether it polled well, but it has shaped his term so far. The problem is that many Pennsylvanians are still waiting for that “sh**.” Based on number of bills signed into law, his first six months in office were the least productive in 50 years. As he nears the halfway point of his term, the pace hasn’t exactly quickened. ...

It would surprise me if Shapiro actually accepted the VP slot since he's smarter than that.  He's left-wing for sure, and legally enabled the worst excesses of Wolf and Levine during COVID as Attorney General and turned the Pennsylvania State Police onto small business owners who refused to bow down.  However, he is a formidable politician and not to be underestimated.  He's definitely got his eye on 2028 though.

Exactly, so why is that a bad thing?

If Shapiro takes the slot, it is a dangerous throw of the dice for him

Political careers have been ruined by being the back side of a losing landslide.

You're probably right.  Harris floating Shapiro to gauge initial reaction from the antisemitic crazies in the party.

According to the writer....

"If slick PR, empty slogans, and a cringeworthy cadence that mimics Barack Obama’s is what you think would round out a Harris presidential ticket, then Josh Shapiro is your man."

It worked great for Obama, didn't it?

Shapiro would be a very smart political choice.for Kamala.  He's pretty popular in Pennsylvania, which is a critical swing state.  And he's a smart guy.

Whether or not he's more show than substance isn't going to matter in a campaign this short, and likely will be an asset.

He's got substance.  My take is that he's a moderate liberal, not a bomber thrower or outright commie like Wolf before him, and calculates everything before acting (or not acting).  Here in Pennsylvania, he knows that the tide has turned, and has adopted a lighter touch, with his eye on getting elected for a second term, and then running for President on his own in 2028.

That's why I say there is no apparent advantage for him tying himself to the Harris anchor and then sinking in the "Red Sea" with her come November.

With that said, maybe somebody's offering him some sort of very sweet deal behind the scenes to try and prop Harris up.  if so then (rhetorically speaking) I hope he gets it in writing and cash up front.

Something tells me that JD Vance ( or whatever his name is right now) is going to have a tough time debating either Shapiro or Kelly.
