I put it down to relief on the part of the Democratic electorate that they're no longer bound to vote for a querulous frightened old man.

She is in a fortunate situation because on her own, I doubt she can be very effective similar to Al Gore, both are lousy campaigners. But she made a great choice for her VP who is affable, engaging, likeable with a solid record of executive success as a governor, while his counterpart is competing with Don Jr. for the most obnoxious American. If Mr. Walz fronts their team, they will do very well and she can be pretty sure that she will attract women voters and minorities just by being herself.
