I really believe that this ticket would be unstoppable.

[heyjude]

It even has a nice ring to it.

Julian Castro is very attractive.

Totally. Swoon.

(If this baby was a boy, he was going to be named Julian. (In my head. My H repeatedly rejected it!))

Also, wasn't his daughter super cute at the DNC in 2012, maybe? He shares a birthday with Scarlett, too, which obviously makes him cool.

Game set match

Give the assist to the clown car of GOP challengers. 
Sidenote - A piece of me thinks Joe Biden is thinking about whether he really wants to be President, not whether he wants to run.

and there's two of him.

"The former first lady is clearly looking to build on her momentum after her solid performance in Tuesday night’s Democratic debate."

This irritates me for some reason, she's had a few titles since being FLOTUS, why pick that one? I feel like it's a subtle way to downgrade her accomplishments.

Yes. I would look very hard at him for anything, too.

It irritates me especially since I don't see a "former secretary of state" in there anywhere. Come on.

ETA: This pissed me off in 2008, as well. She was constantly referred to by pundits as just Hillary. Um, how about Senator (former Senator? I forget if she resigned her seat or what before she ran that time) Clinton.

Don't senators and presidents keep the title even after they retire? And also secretaries (of state, etc.), for that matter?


I Googled. It looks like I'm correct for Senators (keep the title for life, because there are many at once), but not for President or Secretary of State, according to www.formsofaddress.info/former.html#128.

So, it should be Senator Clinton (and her husband is Mr. Clinton).

His dream name for a boy is Hans.
