Tim Walz really reminds me of the spirit of those two guys embodied in one of the most likable person imaginable. Now we can envision and celebrate an America where all of our children are truly above average!

This is a bold choice by VP Harris [View all] BeyondGeography Aug 2024 OP

Yes I feel this too. I haven't felt this emotional in a long time. They are going to be great and it's going to Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #1

I agree. This will be a fun campaign MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #57

"FUN" may be the key word. If we could sneak spies into each campaign to video secretly, the mood would be brewens Aug 2024 #62

I just heard that Walz kept saying that he wants to bring a sense of JOY to campaigning. And that's going to be Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #64

Yes! I smile every time I see his face MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #56

Definately a Marley man in spirit. Tommymac Aug 2024 #80

My sense is she is going to run to the center, and Walz will protect her left flank with progressives. Fiendish Thingy Aug 2024 #6

Exactly how I see it. It's as simple as that, and I am thrilled to say the least msfiddlestix Aug 2024 #54

I love this. And as a retired teacher pinkstarburst Aug 2024 #31

There are a lot of loonie Lutherans and Catholics in outstate MN geardaddy Aug 2024 #82

It's not bold at all - it's the safe pick. She went for the white male "dad" who is everything TBF Aug 2024 #24

Disagree, there were "safer" options on the table. BeyondGeography Aug 2024 #32

Read my entire post - he is the vanilla white male she needed. I'll repeat it: good pick. nt TBF Aug 2024 #36

It was a short post, I think I was able to absorb it in its entirety on the first try BeyondGeography Aug 2024 #37

He's just a little older than me & looks like every guy I went to high school with - TBF Aug 2024 #43

I agree, Pete would have been a bold pick, but here's info I received this morning in an e-mail generalbetrayus Aug 2024 #66

Just think-back in 1999 Walz was leading the football team to victory & started the school's first gay-straight alliance Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #68

Wow, every dang post today is making me super excited n/t hibbing Aug 2024 #69
