We know that the impact of a white male veep candidate on an election is negligible, I’ll agree with that much.
I would say we won’t know what the effect on turnout is of having a member of a minority as one’s veep candidate until it’s been tried.

I think that a largely stationary mating is more comfortable and enjoyable and that, if you really must move to a different location while mating, it is better that you walk.
I don’t know who started this craze, but leave it to a Democrat…
I get the feeling McRaven is aiming to be Secretary of Defense in the next Democratic administration. I really doubt that Warren would pick an old white dude for the VP slot.
Sanders does not do moderate. I don’t see any reasonable scenario in which he gets the nomination, but if he does then I’d expect he’ll pick someone who shares all of left-wing positions.
*Biden did not provide any specific names, but he said several people are qualified, including “the former assistant attorney general who got fired,” referring to former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates; “the woman who should have been the governor of Georgia,” referring to Stacey Abrams; and “the two senators from the state of New Hampshire,” referring to Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D) and Maggie Hassan (D).
Yates was fired by President Trump in 2017 after refusing to to defend his administration’s travel ban. She was serving as the acting attorney general at the time. *
And lets face it- it is rare anyone picks someone who was campaigning against them.
Doesn’t seem rare by my memory – Kerry picked Edwards, who was running against him, and Obama picked Biden, who was (briefly) running against him.
