Except for that I think Gavin Newsom would be a good replacement.
It makes me wonder if someone like Beshear would be a good candidate, or at least as a running mate. He seems to be popular in his region which is mostly red. If you're a Democrat winning in Kentucky routinely, you must be doing something right.

Bill Clinton being a Democrat from Arkansas was a pretty big deal when he ran for the same reason. Carter before that helps swing a couple of southern states as well.
