Not a prediction, just an observation

*
From the "who cares?" department, here is my one and only post about the Democratic VP nomination.

I think Kathleen Sebelius would be Obama's best choice for a running mate. First, I think Obama could benefit from having an executive (i.e., governor) on the ticket. Second, her presence would serve to "heal" the feelings of '70s-era identity-politics feminists who think it was unfair of Obama to win the Democratic primary cycle, no matter what they now say; Sebelius also would appeal to many other women of all ages, and the Democrats need them to come out strong in November. Third, Sebelius looks lively and energetic while sporting white hair; selecting her for the ticket would give "moderate, undecided voters" (you know: morons) a subliminal point of reference along the lines of "only one party has a person with white hair on the ticket who isn't a morally, psychiatrically compromised former war hero blinded by opportunism and a voracious sense of self-entitlement, and it ain't the Republicans."

But then, I'm just a simple country editor....

PS: I'd actually like Sebelius to be Obama's pick because it would be so much fun to see Hillary, her peckerwood husband, and the horses they rode in on completely "pwn3d" by reality --- just desserts for the Clintons' filthy, racially driven negative campaigning.
