TOPEKA – Now that the Kansas legislative session is over, it’s time to guess who Barack Obama, assuming he becomes the Democratic nominee for president, will pick as his vice presidential candidate. There has been talk about Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, one of the first party leaders to endorse Obama, as a possible pick, but she is usually thought of as a longshot. Still, Sebelius makes sense on many levels. Obviously, she’s a woman and that would add another historic touch to Obama’s run. She’s a governor and governor’s play better in the minds of voters than legislators. More importantly, Sebelius is a Democratic governor in a Republican state, and so has obviously pulled in significant numbers of Republican and independent voters. Heck, she flipped a former state GOP chairman – Mark Parkinson – to become a Democrat and her lieutenant governor. An Obama-Sebelius ticket would be more appealing to moderate Republicans and independents and plays into Obama’s message of tearing down walls between voters, parties, etc. The major drawback is that there would be little foreign policy experience in an Obama-Sebelius pairing, but that may matter little. It seems the mood of voters is to re-focus on domestic problems.
