Whitmer would not accept Kamala offer anyway

this territory is moderated

That's an interesting element to this. It sounds like she and Newsome are not really interested in being the sacrificial lambs this cycle, anyway.

My guess is that it will be either the PA or KY governor.

reply

Gavin can't join Kamala because then you have double California

double female vs double CA?

reply

I think Americans would find double CA more off-putting.

This is an easy fix. All he has to do is move and register to vote in another state. Maybe a bit more, but not much more than that.

reply

Gavin would have to step down as governor to do that, which seems like a bad political gamble.

reply

I was only speaking to the double same state issue. I didn't suggest he would be the choice.

reply

Gotcha. On that note, Kamala might have an easier time changing her residence, if necessary.

reply

She want to college in DC. That could be the way. Either way, I think we are about to see, because Sleepy Joe won't be it.

reply

I know that was my prediction for July, but I'm starting to think he's just going to refuse to leave the race.

It's going to be fascinating to see.

PA helps, but KY does not.

reply

Maybe not directly, but I think that sort of connection to the Rust Belt might help.

reply

But it needs to be a Rust Belt state with more Electoral College votes and is in play. PA is right on, as is MI.

reply

I agree with MI, conceptually, I just think their actual governor won't appeal.

I'm not particularly familiar with either of these guys, but politicos talk about them as being very popular in their states and they don't have any national baggage yet.

reply

Yeah, but it is not about the popular vote.

reply

Fair point, she did get re-elected after all.

reply

Why not?
