From the article:
"The focus on his running mate distracts from the more critical question: What would Biden do as president to increase opportunity for black women, all women, and all Americans?" [Answer: nothing]
"The Black unemployment rate fell to its lowest recorded rate last fall and the women’s unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in over 65 years. Women filled nearly three out of four (71%) of all new jobs created in 2019 and minority women drove this surge in employment." [That is the record candidate Biden and his rookie Left extremist running mate are up against.]
I read one of the analyses of his latest choices, pro and con. If you read just through the negatives, there isn't a one he should pick. If he panders to one group, he offends another. Also, he CAN'T back off of his promise to choose a woman. Might as well say the same for the promise to give a black woman a fair shake. That means choose a black woman. How else do they get a fair shake?
All these women are marginally qualified to be President in the context that Biden is already unfit to serve as President, so the need to be ready is very likely immediate..

Why He Dithers

The contenders on Biden's short list all have ... serious shortcomings"
[Frontrunner]
"Kamala Harris is controversial as well. She, too, was a former prosecutor, and was attacked by Rep. Tulsi Gabbard during the debates for having “put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.” That doesn’t play well with today’s Democrats."---------------------------------
I would add, her vetting was the 2020 race where she scored 0% in Iowa and 0% in New Hampshire. South Carolina, 0.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Iowa_Democratic_presidential_caucuseshttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-primary-elections/new-hampshire-resultsTo be fair, she exercised her best example of good Presidential judgment by dropping out before votes were cast to save face for this contest.
Yes, Kamala was vetted by the voters to be President of the United States. Verdict: No. She couldn't manage the fiscal challenge of a campaign and couldn't attract a vote. Her best example of good Presidential judgment was to dropout before votes were cast to save face for this contest.
Pete Buttigieg should identify female before Joe's dithering comes to its unexciting end. He can continue his talk about success updating his utility billing software, enough to win the Iowa caucuses. One more accomplishment than Kamala Harris.
Unprecendentedly weak field.

Update: While I post, why he dithers, the selection has been put back one week.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/03/biden-vice-president-search-390853Same guy that couldn't 'pull the trigger' on killing or capturing Osama bin Laden. Presidential? In one week, he will faced with the same weak choices.
He should instead announce who his real decision makers are and processes they will use to make his decisions. Least transparent major candidate ever?
Update: Black [woman] running mate could help Biden win Wisconsin by turning out the black vote in Milwaukee.
https://www.cbs58.com/news/how-bidens-vp-pick-could-tip-the-scales-in-wisconsinAren't black women already the strongest constituency in the Democratic party?
Wisconsin is 6% black. Milwaukee is the city where Biden's handlers cancelled his $200 million convention. Tough luck.
