When you consider the % of the vote that black females are, it doesn't make sense to select a black female VP based on that alone; black voters are going to vote democratic regardless. We need someone who can win votes in battleground states and appeal to moderates/undecided voters. There just isn't a black female candidate who can do that right now.
