    Too much baggage. I am led to understand that Shapiro may have some as well, but it's not as readily apparent.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/06/why-kamala-harris-chose-tim-walz-00172834

          Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, another finalist, avoided the green-room circuit and instead touted Harris and his own record at a series of events throughout the state. A pro-Harris event in Philadelphia turned into a Shapiro-for-VP party.

          His style was seen by at least some in Harris’ world as showboating. One senior Democrat in touch with Harris’ team called it “counterproductive.”

          And there was a sense within Shapiro’s team that, unlike Walz, his interview with Harris did not go as well as it could have. There was “not a great feeling” coming out of it, according to a person in touch with his advisers.

          After their meeting on Sunday, Shapiro called Harris’ team and made clear that he was “struggling with the decision to leave his current job as governor of Pennsylvania, in order to seek the vice presidency,” according to a person familiar with the selection process.

            One thing for sure is that this process elevated his stature. If Harris loses he’ll be a top candidate in 2028.

            Thank you for your attention to this matter.

              It's a shame they didn't run him to begin with. Or someone. Anyone.

                It’s also a shame that he got the tattoo for nothing…

                    @Jolly the article in Politico above (post #35) made a similar point.
