@BlogKCDemocrats are working hard to boost the national profile of Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, as heard in a recent NPR report. Not only does she appear in Vogue magazine this month, tonight she’ll give the Democratic response to the State of the Union speech.
Sebelius is generating a lot of buzz about vice-presidential nominations, but how realistic is it? With Democrats looking set to nominate either their first female or first biracial candidate, are voters ready to go all the way with a female/female or minority/female ticket? Then there are the arguments that much of Sebelius’ success is really just a great knack for doing nothing and staying on the sidelines whenever a tough issue confronts Topeka.
very realistic. one of hillary’s two pluses (first female, experience) goes away if obama picks sebelius. sebelius’ executive experience would likely trump hillary’s white house years. who would hillary pick for her VP? not sebelius if she endorses obama. she’d have to pick someone to balance her out (male, governor, not from the northeast).
She’s the Kay Barnes of Kansas.
