John McCain wanted Joe Lieberman and he got stuck with Sara Palin and the rest is history. NOT that Joe would have selected Amy K. I think her withdrawing is OK in itself. But to tell him whom he SHOULD choose? I dunno. It rubbed me the wrong way. Just like trump DICTATING what people can/should do. I think Amy K means well but I personally am offended. A prez candidate SHOULD HAVE COMPLETE say in whom he wants as the veep. My humble opinion. If I were in Joe's shoes I'd want complete AUTONOMY to control that decision. It's like having others tell you whom you can marry.
I believe he should pick the most qualified person – regardless of their race, color, or gender. Trying to please everyone or trying to please people who’re in a fevered frenzy rarely produces a good decision. It’s possible that whomever he picks will end up as president (there’s always that possibility).
