A presidential couple?

New York magazine’s John Heileman writes about Gov. Kathleen Sebelius in “Obama’s V.P. Conundrum,” and raises an interesting, but troubling, racial issue in connection with a possible Obama-Sebelius ticket.

Walsh puts Sebelius among those who would add “demographic appeal” to the Obama ticket
