Who Should Hillary Clinton's Vice President Be? Submit Now!

Hillary Clinton has won the 2016 Democratic nomination, finishing the primary season in a very strong way. She's won the popular vote, she's won most of the pledged delegates, she's won most of the superdelegates. And even bigger than that, she made history by becoming the first female nominee of a major party.

Now that the nominee has been choose, it's time to look forward to the next big step: choosing a vice president. Throughout this election, there have been countless articles and discussions over who Hillary should choose as her running mate. Lots of names have been thrown around, though only Hillary and her team know who she's considering. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun and do some speculation of our own.

Last summer, I did an unofficial contest on this blog to find a campaign song for Hillary. Katy Perry's "Roar" won--that is one of the handful of songs we've heard at her rallies.

So let's do another contest this summer (or at least in the first part of summer leading up to the convention). Nominees can announce their running mates any time they want, of course. In 2008, both Barack Obama and John McCain revealed their choices the weekend before their respective conventions. Mitt Romney did his earlier than that in 2012. For the purposes of this contest, I'm going to assume Hillary will make her announcement right before the Democratic National Convention, though if she does it a lot sooner, this contest will come to an end, obviously.

Who do you think should be Hillary's running mate? You can send in as many options as you want using the form below. And feel free to share this blog post on all of your social media pages so that as many Hillary supporters as possible can participate. (Use the hashtag #HillarysVP.)

This submission period will last for a week. Because there's only so many weeks before the convention, I don't have the luxury of dragging this first leg out for too long. Once the submission period is closed, I will gather all the options into a list, and over the next several weeks, we'll all vote to narrow down the list until only one remains--the person we believe should be Hillary's running mate.

Keep in mind that I am not affiliated with Hillary Clinton or her campaign, so these polls are not being used by the campaign; this is just for us Hillary supporters to show our support and have some fun along the way.

So start sending in your submissions now using the form below! Remember: you can send in as many as you want.
