“It’s flattering and a little . . . surreal to have somebody talk about those sorts of ideas,” she said. “I don’t really think about it. That is not where my focus is.”


Associated Press picture taken when Obama visited BCCC and was introduced by Gov. Sebelius. She has been suggested as a possible running mate with Obama.

1. I don't think that's going to happen. I think someone with
solid military experience is necessary now, to counter McCain's only claim to fame.

Also, if Sebelius is hired, there might be a lot of people wondering why Clinton wasn't selected.

My 2 cents, I could be totally off.

4. I disagree. I think the public wants the Iraq War to end and a focus on domestic issues.
Choosing a governor without military experience as VP wouldn't bother people looking for that.

5. My reasoning is this: McCain gains points for his POW status,
rightly or wrongly. There is an illegal occupation going on. To counter McCain and this illegal occupation, someone with some military experience or, better yet, a brilliant military career, might help.

Whoever is selected, he/she doesn't have to be a governor; all bets are off this election.

2. She impresses me very much.
Saw her speak last week on tv for about 15 minutes. Speaks clearly without a lot of over the top crap. Very smart. If she had foreign policy experience, she'd be a fantastic VP candidate.

Clearly a star in the party.

3. Hillary supporters would go crazy that another woman was chosen over her

But other than that she is impressive!
