Clinton/Kucinich vs JBush/someone with strong military background.

If you're looking for a southerner Clinton can add, I'd expect one of the Senators of Virginia (probably Tim Kaine over Mark Warner) to be high on the list. Julian Castro (or Joaquin) would be an exciting choice as well and would counteract her age.

Fair enough. Virginia is much more of a swing state, after all.
And, yeah; the VP has to be someone who's both younger and who people would think would be plausible as a President. For an older candidate especially, having a convincing VP who could plausibly take over is very important. That's part of the reason Sarah Palin was such a disaster for McCain.

Even my republican mother recognizes Bernie is a decent candidate. If he can get people to cross party lines like that, it's a good sign.
When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! 'I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?' Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons!
What, to your republican mother, makes him a "decent candidate"? I really fail to see how Sanders can make people "cross party lines" unless they weren't remotely conservative to begin with.
I guess Sanders does love guns, but it's hard to think of another area where Sanders sits closer to a Republican candidate than any of the other Democratic candidates.

At this point, a lot of conservatives really hate Hillary Clinton mostly because there's been a pretty steady stream of anti-Hillary attacks made in the conservative media for the past 20 years, ranging from the plausible to the conspiracy theory to the bizarre.
If Sanders gets the nomination, or even looks like he might, *then* conservative media will start telling all the conservatives why they should hate him. Right now, they're not bothering for the most part.

Wait, conservatives make decisions on who to like based on political expediency?
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
I think the whole server issue has really hurt her credibility/trustworthiness in the general public's eyes.
"i have the sickest grossest feeling that even if it's my lynch today, my townflip still won't lead to a tso lynch, and then he'll find some bullshit way to reason either shooting or lynching gm tomorrow because if there's anyone who can strongarm a mislynch despite his reads or cases being proved wrong time and again it's tso"
Old men are not welcome in politics, especially if they're rich and white.
