It was a surprising and interesting pick. He is from a swing state but doesn't have a very moderate record.

I also don't understand what are Dems thinking? It may be that are in search of a candidate for 28. Kamala and Walz will lose and they'll come up with a new combo.

Good point. Might be a hedge. If they get lucky and win then they take the win but if the lose they keep their better candidates for the next one.

Walz seems ambitious enough.

The problem is his record and personal history. He lied about his military service. He had a drunk driving incident: he drove 96 in a 55 mile per hour area.

I feel they picked him because he is relatively safe. Compare him to Trump or Vance, he looks like a saint. Even though he had a DWI.

Safe because he is anti-Israel and Lutheran?
His record as governor is not moderate.
He let Minnepolis burn for 4 days in 2020.

That is right, he did let it burn for a while. It picked itself up, I think. I wasnt all for what he said during covid. He seemed a bit harsher than other presidents at the time.
