1. I personally hope for None Of The Above. I want a choice that surprises everyone, even me.

Warren I think has done nothing to earn it.
Castro is a bit too young/inexperienced, even for a VP which is potentially a position to learn/grow.
Tim Kaine, I don't know enough about.
Same with Perez.
Bernie Sanders disqualified himself.
Sherrod Brown is OK, but uninspiring IMO.
Al Franken? Great guy, but one-liners get old after a while.
O'Malley and Patrick are too unknown to be useful.

I have no alternative, but I just hope that HRC has a bigger list than what the media is reporting. That kind of stuff makes me feel like the media is trying to steer or direct the choice down a specific path.
