I’m starting to think Warren just may be the VP pick. In any case, she’s thriving in the attack dog role.

There are still good reasons not to go with Warren for VP. A GOP governor would choose her replacement; She doesn’t exactly broaden the ticket or bring much governing experience; Massachusetts is not a swing state, etc. But she is certainly warming to the role.

Tim Kaine is a good possibility and someone I’ve liked for this spot for a while. Although of course with VA’s one term limit, Kaine was only gov there for four years. He was a bit more conservative earlier in his career which could broaden the ticket to a degree, but I think his positions are pretty mainstream Dem ones now.

I also wonder if there are some legitimate dark horses not being mentioned—Someone like Leon Panetta comes to mind. I think he left the Obama Admin on unfriendly terms, or at least disagreed with Obama’s FP to some degree. But would offer a wide range of experience.
