    You're giving Georgia to the democrats. I sincerely doubt that happens.

    I'm not, that's for illustration.

    You were saying if Dems lose PA, they need: MI, WI, AZ, NV and flip GA or NC.

    I'm saying that's not quite right. They need: MI, WI or AZ, NV and flip GA or NC.

    PA is still the most likely tipping point state. If Dems lost PA, they must flip GA or NC to have a chance.

    I cannot get the Dems to 270 using your math.

    Must be missing something here.

    Edit: I found the problem. Site was not working properly for me.

    It said close to a decision, but it sounds like she has already made one.

    Exclusive-Harris and her VP pick will tour battleground states next week - sources

    (Reuters) - Vice President Kamala Harris will tour battleground states next week with her vice presidential candidate, two sources familiar with the planning said on Tuesday, a signal the selection process for her running mate is coming to a close.

    It looks like it's a coinflip between Kelly and Shapiro at this point.

    Can't go wrong IMO. Both strengthen the ticket.

    She should pick JD Vance because he is already absolutely trashing the Trump campaign.

    These internet memes need a bit more work and vetting.

    Have they physically heard it spoken, and would they want crowds chanting it on broadcasts?

    I don't think it's meant to go beyond just casual slang for political dorks.

    I guess we need mockups of them with lots of eye liner to know if they can really go lash-to-lash with JD Vance in a debate!

    I think he's the best, so it's a yah from me. But is the public ready? I have no idea, and Harris is unlikely to take a gamble on him.

    He's 42, gay, and from a state that is irretrievably red.

    His time will come. But it ain't today.

    His time will come, I agree. My counterargument would be that he has, ironically, a higher national profile than these governors, he is incredibly well-spoken and appears very intelligent and competent, and this VP nomination presents a good opportunity to prepare him to be a very strong presidential candidate after the Harris Administration. It is probably a mistake to be looking past this election considering the danger we are in, but I don't think he'd be a crazy choice either.
