Sebelius is a great, smart woman! But she will not help as VP....
I live in Kansas. Obama won the caucuses here 75%-25%. But an election would have been a lot closer I'll admit.

I campaigned for Sebelius and and love her. She is smart and a great politican.

I don't think she brings enough to the national scene to pick her as VP. I also don't know if she will bring Kansas. This is a backass state that still fights the state board of education about evolution being real.

I think we need to pick a defense expert and a person who can help with the south.

But I love Sebelius!!!

1. I'm not from Kansas but I think it's more important for Obama
to go with his themes and game plan than purely political calculation at this time (though I like the idea of Zinni or Nunn). That's why I support the idea of her as VP.

4. Yes, she was born and raise in Ohio. Her father John Gilligan was a very popular Governor there.

3. What can't be disputed is that she has one heck of a name

Sebelius? That's like the coolest name of a possible candidate ever.

6. I have no idea- Sibelius with an "I" was a world famous composer, though...
