The only picks that are "maybes" for me are Bottoms, Abrams, and Whitmer. The rest have too much baggage or are too far left:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKCN2532TT

Harris: Her performance in Senate committees is repulsive, specifically during Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. She's strikes me as hyper-racist, ill-tempered, and hyper-partisan. The party itself wasn't interested in her on the ballot because these problems are obvious whenever she speaks. She's not leader material. Voted for impeachment which had no Constitutional basis.

Rice: Literally the only thing she is known for was being thrown in front of the Benghazi bus by Obama. Not leadership material.

Bass: One of the rare Democrats to support Green New Deal, hard pass. Voted for impeachment which had no Constitutional basis.

Demmings: Had enough of her as one of the House Managers during the trial. That raspy voice is unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Voted for impeachment which had no Constitutional basis.

Duckworth: Likely doesn't pass the Constitutional test for "natural born citizen;" ergo, unqualified to hold the position.

Bottoms: Actions as mayor caused a massive drop in morale by police officers in the city leaving the city virtually undefended at a time when it is most needed. I might forgive this but she's lacking in political experience and publication of policy positions.

Warren: Almost as far left as Sanders and that's a serious problem. Hard pass.

Abrams: Maybe okay but there's a lack of experience/information around her. What little is available on her, she strikes me as the most moderate of those named...potentially too moderate. She might fit in with the group of religious black Democrats that agree more with religious white Republicans than the Democratic base. As such, the Democratic party may have a problem with her.

Grisham: What she did vis-à-vis electricity in New Mexico is the surest sign of a politician that doesn't understand the ramifications of her actions. She also sued the surgeon whom attempted to save her husband's life, later dropping the suit. There's not much information available on her but half of what I'm finding is not good.

Whitmer: Not much information again. What little is available is balanced in favor rather than opposed.
