Some people won't be able to handle the full spotlight. To put it in a baseball perspective, you can be a superstar at the AAA level, but not be good enough for the majors. Obviously, Klobuchar has done very well as a senator. Is she ready to make the jump? Can she handle the jump? On the surface, I would think so.

This is why I like candidates that are former governors. At least you have an idea of how they'll handle the top executive position.

You mean like when W handed all the power over to the VP? Boy, that was a good one. We really knew what was going to happen there.

A quarter of Iowans in the part that is essentially Nebraska love Steve King. The other 3 quarters went blue.

That was +2 for the Ds last year, while Minnesota struggled to break even. So Fark off.

Being governor of North Dakota is less impressive than being the mayor of pretty much any major city. Your standard is weak.

Rs hold all chambers in Iowa, correct? So no, I really don’t care what Iowans think and certainly don’t trust them to determine the D candidate

How many mayors have to deal with a bicameral legislature?

And what's "too small" to be considered? Arkansas (3 million)?

Frankly, I'd put ND's current governor up there as one of the best public executives in the country right now (even though he carries that NDSU stain on the resume :D ).

I think Hickenlooper's got some potential and I'd like to hear more. But Colorado is only 5.6 million people ...

Live Pavlov's dogs its amazing how a poll will get reactions out of people. The first thing to be suspicious of is that everybody has completely made up their minds so that the totals add up 100% with the Trump vs - contests. Also, while Sanders is well known I'm skeptical that Warren is at that level and Harris certainly isn't...yet they're all pulling in about the same %? Smells funny. Either Trump paid for this poll or Biden did! :D

Yeah, it's easy to be governor during an oil boom. Talk to me in 20 years when we've transitioned to electric vehicles and the oil money is dried up.

And size wise, how about being big enough to qualify for having your own congressional district if you weren't guaranteed one based on state lines.

This. My bet is when the oil dries up they pull a Brownback/Kansas gambit. We all know how well that worked out for their economy.
