    I think Whitmer is fantastic, but I don’t agree that she’s an appropriate and pragmatic choice here. The running mate should be a white, middle-aged, heterosexual, vaguely religious dude, specifically to try to allay the concerns of the various idiots in this country who will be unsure about a “colored lady” being the president. It’s a big part of why Obama went with Biden as a running mate, after all.
