s/o Who gets the Democratic Veep nod?

I didn't see this posted yet, but today, Castro officially endorsed Clinton, and when she asked about whether she would consider him for her VP running mate, she complimented him and said she would "look at him for anything." It's basically a done deal.

I could listen to Sherrod Brown talk all day. That crazy gravelly voice; I love it.

I would love to see Booker as VP, but I'm not sure he's got the right experience. O'Malley doesn't have much to go on either.  He was a Dem elected mayor in a 90% Dem city. And he didn't do much there.  And I think that even though Freddie Gray and other issues were long after his time, Republicans could use that against him.  The murder rate spiked toward the end of his tenure as mayor.  Sheila Dixon, whom he endorsed to succeed him as mayor, was found guilty of fraud during her mayoral term (she solicited donations of gift cards for needy families, and then used them herself).  And, as others have said, he doesn't bring a whole lot to the table: Maryland is going blue no matter what, he has little name recognition outside of Maryland/the East Coast, and he's a white male.

I can see Castro locking this one down, and I'd be pretty pleased with that.  Especially if Jeb! or a Latino candidate gets the R nom.

And yet she may very well be mayor again next year. 

Never change Baltimore! Juan is good friends with one of my neighbors, he's all I like about that family lol.
