As they won’t have any time to campaign and spread their message. I guess you could make the argument they really only have to be known in the states that will actually decide the election (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Nevada) but I don’t think there is a potential candidate that would do well in those states that isn’t a household name.

I think there are only a few names that fit that criteria that have any chance to warrant a nomination.
Bernie Sanders
Warren
Hillary Clinton
Newsom
Michelle Obama
Buttigieg
Klobuchar


I really hope the first 2 are a hard no. Hilary would take it in a heartbeat I assume but I think the party would say her time and chance has come and gone. Michelle has not shown any interest so doesn’t seem like she would take it if asked. I think Buttigieg doesn’t have the fan base to win the nomination. His approval ratings are not strong. klobuchar is probably more of wishful thinking on my part. Her name recognition is not great and she doesn’t seem to do well on the national stage.

Really Newsom seems like the only viable option. Not sure if he would go over well in a lot of the states mentioned above.


Illinois has a governor just waiting for the call

Sorry, Marine Domer, that was for you.

I can't say I have feelings one way or another for Pritzker. Said another way, I can understand why people have strong feelings about him both good and bad. I think he's done a reasonably good job as Governor, but I'll defer to others on whether that's true or far from it. I'm not sure I'd advocate too hard for him for President as he feels a little too slimy -- though that doesn't seem to be too much of a disqualifier anymore.

I thought he was the guy if they were going plan B

The tussle between him and Johnson has been entertaining

Between Johnson’s handling of the migrant crisis and casting the tie breaker vote in a City Council Palestinian resolution, Priztker has had few kind words to say in public.

I expect the private conversations to be quite lively.

You mean the Democratic Chris Christie of Illinois? *

What a fatass phony nincompoop.

The fact the he even enters the conversation should display the collective malignancy of our politics.

I wonder what sissy says in private about her obese, baby brother. Nothing nice.
