leading the anti gun filibuster, I wonder if Hillary is looking at him as a running mate. He really impressed me with his ability and passion.

VERY impressive. Only problem is that he brings no "minority" or "swing state" heft to the ticket.

This guy has a brilliant future ahead of him.

He's from a traditionally Blue state, though.

but remember back in 92 when Clinton and Gore were both southerners from, then blue, states. Worked well then

Nothing wrong with thinking outside the box, and Hillary is very good at that!

Pros are that he is young, smart ( Rhodes scholar I think), from a state with a Dem governor, passionate, good speaker
