While it seems premature to discuss possible Democratic vice presidential candidates, a few names are circulating as possibilities. Kathleen Sebelius, the current governor of Kansas, is one of those named as a possible running mate. From what I have researched she appears to be a better candidate for Barack Obama than Hillary Clinton.

Sebelius's Strengths

First and foremost, Kathleen Sebelius would bring experience to the Democratic ticket. She was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives in 1986 and served for eight years. She left the House to run for state insurance commissioner and was the first Democrat to win the office in over 100 years. She is credited with bringing the insurance commission out from under the heavy influence of insurers. She refused to take any contributions to her campaign from insurance companies.

In 2002, Sebelius ran for governor in a political climate that was sharply divided. The moderate and conservative Republicans were separated over certain issues and thanks to that, Sebelius won a fairly easy victory. During her tenure as governor, the economy and jobs have increased after being at an all-time low...

1. Sebelius indeed!

PLEASE pick her Obama! :patriot:

[Bicoastal]

2. Look at Sebelius, pandering shamelessly to the puppet community.

Hillary Clinton has been working tirelessly for Muppet rights for 35 years!

3. shameless kick for muppets everywhere!

And for THE BETTER WOMAN, Kathleen Sebelius!!! :kick:

4. Blanche Lincoln is preferable

Younger - generational change - she is 48
White woman from Arkansas with a GENUINE accent
Youngest woman ever elected to the US Senate
6 years in the House
10 in the Senate
More Washington legislative experience than Barack and Hillary combined.
Has twin sons but they are younger and they did not sell inappropriate board games.
Husband is an infertility specialist in Virginia
Co-founder of Blue Dog coalition - gets conservative rural southern/midwestern democrats
Major interests in Congress are
1. agriculture
2. food
3. energy
4. health care

Given the association between agriculture, food and energy these days, she is on the cutting edge of major rural domestic policy.
Very active in rural issues.

Finally the bumper sticker

Obama/Lincoln versus Obama/Sebelius

Perfect for Hillary's Low Information Voters

No further comment.

5. Many women - almost ANY woman after her gross and racially divisive smear campaign.

:(

[WinkyDink]

6. Why do we need a woman VP? Just because?

[hfojvt]

8. because of the hope

that it will make the Hillary supporters shut up and support the ticket.




Also it works as a coat of whitewash over our blatant sexism. :hide:

[Labors of Hercules]

12. blatant sexism?

I can think of at least 10 women who I would probably vote for over Barack Obama. I know I am not alone.

Why is it sexist that Hillary isn't one of them?

[mmonk]

7. That's what I've been saying (no offense to Clinton)

[LisaM]

9. No. Her response to the SOTU was completely ineffective

She didn't even sound like a Democrat at the beginning of it. She sounded as if she just wanted to conciliate Republicans. I was not impressed in the least.

[PBS Poll-435]

23. I don't think she is VP material.

That is all.

[Az_lefty]

10. Barbara Boxer....

[EnviroBat]

11. Well, she's apparently got the muppet vote locked up!

:evilgrin:

[mystieus]

18. lol, lets not go there

[Vickers]

13. I'd hit it.

Er, I mean, I'd vote for her.

:blush:

[JerseygirlCT]

14. I agree with you! I think she's a good idea. nt

[PoliticalAmazon]

15. I hope Obama selects his VP based on merit, and not on gender, race.....

or color of their hair, or anything else.

[Labors of Hercules]

16. I agree...

And I think Sebelius is the best choice all the way around.

[mystieus]

17. She has my vote!

[MadBadger]

19. Barbara Boxer, Janet Napolitano.

[anigbrowl]

20. seconded for Janet.

[MadBadger]

24. I think Boxer is the best women for the job, but Napolitano makes more sense.

[Forkboy]

21. She didn't pose with Sweetums. Screw her!

[PBS Poll-435]

22. Barbara Boxer or Mary Landrieu

Are my only alternatives to Hillary.
