I am in complete agreement with you. I've read a lot about him. The fact that a moderate Democrat could win and is popular in a very conservative state means a lot. He could draw in the double haters, the independents who might think Harris is too liberal and the former Trumpers who want to vote for someone who is a moderate. I think he'd be a great match for Harris. I'm surprised some of my other political junkie posters aren't familiar with him. Most of those on the list aren't the well known.
Harris is progressive. She supports Medicare for All, the rights of women to have bodily autonomy, help for the economically lower classes etc. Just because she was a prosecutor, doesn't mean she hates minorities. Some idiot on WaPo said she was responsible for putting people away for decades. Judges sentence people, not prosecutors and Georgia's own Fanni Willis is also very tough on crime, yet she is very popular in very liberal Fulton county.
As far as Pete B goes, it's not just the fact that our bigoted country isn't ready for a gay VP. I read an article last year, that gave evidence that it's almost impossible for a short man to win the presidency in the US, and probably other places as well. That's another form of bigotry, but when I read it, it made me think of Dukakis, a short Democrat who lost the race for presidency. How many short men have been presidents? Not very many afaik. Plus, I'd like to see someone who was or is a governor.
Now that I think of it, I have no idea how tall Beshear is.
