The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I just heard that Buttigieg was sent vetting material to respond to. As much a large part of me would LOVE to see Pete as the VP, and the next president after Harris in 8 years, larger part of me believes Harris would be much better positioned to win with Josh Shapiro (or one of the other governors on the short list), who could cement her win in PA. Pete is wonderful, but with both a black woman and a gay man on the ticket, it could dissuade enough voters to make a difference.

I hope Harris doesn't get cocky and pick Pete purely for the history making precedent it would set. She still needs to be coldly and calculatingly realistic. I hope she's getting good advise from her inner circle.
