If the public sees the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association at all, it’s mostly on C-SPAN. So it’s not as if Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ elevation this week to the job of chairwoman of the group of 28 governors will make her a household name in the nation. But the spotlight on Sebelius should reflect well on Kansas, fueling the story line that the red state’s two-term embrace of a blue governor holds lessons for the Democratic Party as a whole in 2008. It’s also a point of pride that Sebelius is the first woman to lead the group. Expect many, though, to see Sebelius’ new party role as less about Kansas and more about her ambition, perhaps to be an ‘08 running mate.

Is this the same group chaired by Clinton when he was Governor of Arkansas?
What if Sebelius is a VP pick for the D and Brownback is a VP pick for the R.
That would be interesting.
Although I hate to say that Hillary will not pick Sebelius as a running mate. Not by a long shot, so this may go no where for Seleblius.
If the Dems nominate Hillary, it’ll guarantee victory for the GOP.

I’m sure you repubs would like to think so.
Don’t be so fast to write off the Hillster. You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
This isn’t about hope.
Count it. I would bet and bet heavily against Hillary Rodham Rodham becoming our next prez.
Great…another win for a do-nothing Governor.

If you want to see what the country thinks about Kansas’s darling running for President, just check out the responses on the Brownback article! http://post.news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=NEWS&action=l&ft=1&board=37138469&sid=37138469&title=Frist%20Says%20Job%20Bad%20Spot%20to%20Seek%20Presidency&tid=aprepublicans2008&date=03-29-2006&url=story.news.yahoo.com%2Fnews%3Ftmpl%3Dstory%26u%3D%2Fap%2F20060329%2Fap_on_go_co%2Frepublicans2008_1&.sig=29z0reXffnYMZ.4A55z0qA– He doesn’t have a chance in Hell, oops make that Heaven!
If the USA can elect Dumb Dumb Dubya, I think we can elect Hillary. She’s got a brain.
Hillary voted for the war and she hasn’t really called for pulling out. I think that will hurt her with you people.I do hope she is nominated. It would be a gift for my people.
In any polling, Hilliary has always had real strong positives and real strong negatives. People either lover her or hate her. I hope she doesn’t get the nomination because too many people, numerically, hate her.
Who is on the horizon for the Democrats? I’m not thinking Obama has been around long enough. I like Gore, but I don’t know about his chances, really.
It seems to me we ought to be seeing someone pretty soon as the front-runner. I’m not seeing who that would be, at this time.
Hillary will not be the nominee. Also, I doubt that Sebelius will be either Pres or VP nominee.
Gore could probably win it, after peoples seeing the screw ups of the republicans over the last 8 yrs. they might be wise enough not to make the same mistake, a third time.
My guess – a governor. Maybe Vilsack. Paired with a Senator or House member. Sort of like Clinton-Gore.
I’ll bet the 2008 presidential nominee will be between:
Senator Douchebag vs. Senator Monkey Turd!!!
Who wants to make a bet?
