    my money is on Breshear, but honest question: when was the last time a VP choice delivered his or her state, and it was material? LBJ?

    other than that, it's mostly just noise. Pappy picked Dan Quayle, who was unjustly ridiculed, and won anyway.

    Dude - none of them really matter but Mike Pence was really unpopular. He helped get Trump the Evangelicals but he was very creepy once in office and was routinely made fun of.

    Best VP’s? Papa Bush? LBJ (if he didn’t kill JFK)? Gore maybe?

    Josh Shapiro isn’t who I would pick - I don’t really care for his personality or delivery.

    Like everything else in politics, I am sure his location (Pennsylvania) and his religion (conservative Jew) are part of the reason why.

    It will be harder to attack Harris on Israel with Shapiro. Maybe he also helps firm up any concerns in the Northeast.

    Not sure how Harris does in the South and Midwest.

    as I've said, I like Shapiro, but Veeps don't move the needle for most voters. PA voters might want to keep him in PA.

    BUT, given his steadfast support for Israel, Michigan could be in play. a calculated gamble, perhaps.

    Hilarious that the Philly Mayor's intern leaked this...

    At least someone who is hopefully pro Israel.

    But Blinken and Schumer haven't been great.

    The same Josh Shapiro that covered up a murder and labeled it suicide?
