Okay, I guess I have to do this the old-fashioned, multi-tweet way.
I don't care, very much, about who Biden picks as a VP, but some basic sense here:
1. Choose a VP who does you no harm. Most won't help you much. Be safe.

2. All states are not in play. This was Hillary's mistake, thinking that she was going to crush Trump and get 350+ EVs. She spent money and effort in the wrong places. Her VP pick was good. But Biden shouldn't listen to the "we can win Georgia!" talk.

3. Ticket balancing is fine. Everyone does it. It's helpful. But don't be incredibly obvious about it. If your VP is there to check a box of color or gender - like, say, Palin - you could have an unpleasant surprise.
4. Pick someone the candidate likes. That helps.

5. And finally, and I think this can't be stressed enough, we have learned from Bernie that "my followers on Twitter have strong feelings" isn't enough to win very much. Help Joe instead of trying to saddle him with someone who's big on college campuses this week.
