Why Women Worry About a Clinton-Warren Ticket

 

By Jackie Kucinich

You’d think the idea of Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren on a Democratic ticket would fire up Democratic women. Instead, it’s making these Ohio voters very nervous.

CINCINNATI, OH — Long before Elizabeth Warren joined Hillary Clinton on the campaign stage on Monday, the senator from Massachusetts had proven herself to be one of most effective surrogates this cycle for the Clinton campaign.

The question Monday was: would she be the vice presidential nominee?

Ohio voters gathered in Cincinnati’s Union Terminal weren’t so sure. It wasn’t her credentials that worried voters. The prospect of two women on the ticket is what gave them pause.

“I’m a little concerned about her being the VP choice, I’m not sure about two women, I don’t know if the county’s quite ready for that,” said Susan Knox, a retired human resources professional from Cincinnati, said. “I wouldn’t be unhappy, but I want to win here.”

Kelly O’Connell, of Cincinnati, agreed, “I don’t know that it’s strategic to have two women on the ticket.” Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, she added, would be a good choice, but he might not “ be enough of a draw.”

Maureen Pelletier, an obstetrician, suggested Warren would be an excellent choice for Commerce Secretary.
