There's a reason nobody expected far-left Kamala Harris to pick a far-left governor from a deep blue state as her running mate.
In the wake of Jimmy Carter's crushing defeat in 1980 and repeated Democratic losses thereafter, the party decided that to win presidential elections they had to at least appear as moderates.
Which is why pundits across the board expected Harris - in what amounts to the first important decision she has made as presidential candidate - to pick a more mainstream governor with cross-party appeal from a swing state like Arizona or Pennsylvania.
Hopeless woke Democratic party couldn't bring itself to OK anyone like that.
As Axios reported today: "Many Republicans expressed surprise and relief at the choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate, readying renewed 'radical' liberal attacks."
No matter, it goes on, because "Walz has backing from many influential Democratic voices, including the progressive wing of the party which has at times turned on President Biden, especially over his handling of the war in Gaza.".
Maybe that will smack some sense into the Democratic party.
