Hillary Clinton would be my first choice. A united front would be awesome.
Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of Kansas, would be my second choice. She's a strong woman that could energize Hillary supporters reluctant to support Obama.
Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico, would be my third choice. He can help Obama with a group that has largely eluded him, Latinos.
An Obama/Sebelius ticket would be my absolute dream. My husband teases me about Sebelius, reminding me that I was once this excited about Hillary.
I never realized until today that Richardson and Sebelius were nearly the same age. I was just about to beg Obama to throw us poor Boomer women a bone because Richardson has plenty of time...and then I saw that he's older than she is!
I knew that race would be an issue in this campaign (despite the HillBillies braying otherwise), but I hate that it's become such a central issue. Richardson versus Sebelius is basically Latinos versus white women. I think Barack can regain a large number of women back with Sebelius on the ticket; not just because she's a woman, but because she is a CAPABLE woman who is more than capable of being Commander-in-Chief. And unfortunately, there are far more white women for Barack to need support from than Latinos. I don't think Obama will lose more Latinos if he doesn't pick Richardson; I think his percentage with them will just stay consistently low. Whereas I can see million of Hillary voters stomping over to McCain because that big ol' meanie Obama had the NERVE to beat her in a primary campaign. That'll show us!
Regardless of who gets picked, I think they should make a pact that whoever becomes the VP will take the other candidate when s/he runs for president. So if Obama takes Richardson, and in 4-8 years Richardson runs for president, he should take Sebelius. If Obama takes Sebelius and Sebelius runs in 4-8 years, she should take Richardson. That way, we get them all in office and give them all (long) shots at the being POTUS.
Tell me more about ? Sebelius, who is she. I agree that Richardson may want to be the #2 guy but somehow I don't think he could get the vote out, AND he alignes himself w/the NRA which I hate. What about Hillary being VP. It could work unless they hate each other so much. I hope McCain chooses someone we all could dislike ( like Dem traitor Joe Liebernman ) . Personally I would like Edwards to come back on board but doubt that would happen.
I like Mark Warner, former governor of Virginia. He is a southerner, a moderate, and has lots of executive experience. Another possibility is Evan Bayh. I also like Sebelius.

She would be a good choice. He could get the southern and midwest vote with her.
If he picks Hillary I may have to vote for McCain. I am tired of the Clintons and Bushes. The country needs new blood.
