Hillary Clinton Is Considering Female VP Candidates

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and Sen.

Could 2016 put not just one, but two women in the White House?

Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, has a number of women on her short list of options for vice president, reports The Boston Globe.

“There is no question that there will be women on that list,” Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, told Globe writer Annie Linskey, though he declined to name names.

While “the notion of two women on the ticket is shocking” to some, writes Linskey, it’s not a totally ludicrous idea given the Clintons’ proclivity to making unconventional running mate choices, as Bill Clinton did when he picked Al Gore (a fellow young, Southern Democrat) in 1992.

Linskey speculates that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) would be a top pick for the job because she “adds the obvious benefit of providing a bridge to supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders” and “is one of the few Democratic women with national name recognition and a big following among progressives.”
