I bet Elizabeth Warren is NOT gonna be her VP now. I don't think she was ever a contender. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/kaine-rises-to-top-of-clintons-veep-list-224702quote:
Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine is emerging as the leading candidate atop Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential short list, according to Democratic allies and operatives close to the campaign. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and HUD Secretary Julian Castro are also top prospects for the Democratic ticket — both representing nods to important Democratic constituencies. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/22/clinton-reportedly-vetting-warren-as-narrows-down-vp-list.htmlquote:
Hillary Clinton is reportedly vetting Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a potential running mate, as the presumptive Democratic nominee narrows her VP short-list down to about five people ahead of the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Warren, a favorite with the party’s left-wing base, had a secret meeting last week in Washington with James Hamilton, the lawyer leading the campaign’s vetting of prospective running mates. A source close to the campaign confirmed to Fox News Tuesday that there are now about five candidates on the short-list. Another senior Democratic source said the list includes Warren, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro and Virginia Sen. Timothy Kaine. Additionally, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra and Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown are being considered. The source would not confirm any other potential names. http://www.people.com/article/hillary-clinton-vetting-short-list-three-vice-president-candidatesquote:
Hillary Clinton is narrowing her list of candidates to run alongside her as vice president in November, according to reports. The Clinton camp is currently in the final stages of vetting, leading up to the former Secretary of State's big decision, expected to come in less than a month, CNN reports. According to the Associated Press, Clinton is now down to a short list of just three potential running mates, including Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, and Texas Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro. quote:
ORIGINAL: ThatDizzyChick According to conventional establishment wisdom the VP is supposed to provide "balance" and therefore her pick will be a man, possibly an Hispanic man. If that holds true, then Julian Castro would be that guy (and he's even one of the purported 3 finalists). If you read the first link I put in, though, Kaine speaks Spanish, is from a swing state, and is a former missionary (quick read says he was in Honduras). Either of them might help her solidify (or further solidify) the Hispanic vote.
