I think that means he is thinking of running for the White House in 2028. Fine with me. Those states that wouldn't elect a gay man to the presidency are pretty much those states that would never vote for a Democrat anyway, gay or otherwise.

It's unfortunate that Mayor Pete is now a Michigan resident, which means a ticket with him and Gretchen Whitmer won't fly (unless Buttigieg moves back to Indiana, or to some other state). Buttigieg/Kelly would work for me, but we have a lot of talent out there, and it's early. As long as we don't get any "lookit me" types in the race, it should remain fairly free of acrimony, and, ironically, end up being like one of Mao's best-known quotes: "Let a hundred flowers bloom. Let a hundred schools of thought contend." Republicans have only one school of thought, namely Money=Power=God. Not surprisingly, their flowers have long since wilted and died.

It would not be the first time a state would have had two women Senators. Interestingly enough, Washington State and Minnesota both have two women in the Senate who are not very much alike. If McMorrow should win, this would be another such case. Elissa has a military/CIA backround, and McMorrow has a suburban background, and one of someone who never had an easy time getting established. She and Elissa would have an interesting time exchanging war stories.
