The blog “The Fix” for WaPo has a good piece today: The Case for Kathleen Sebelius

I’ve been pretty keen on her all along for , but she’s probably now elevated to my second choice, after Bill Richardson. Even though Richardson’s name seems to be conspicuously absent from Veepstakes discussions these days.

Sebelius brings executive experience, which I think is a major plus and one of the main reasons I liked Bill. I’d imagine no one realistically thinks she can deliver Kansas for Obama, but she has proven that she can work collaboratively with Republicans, which fits nicely into Barack’s message of a new kind of politics.

Money quote:

While it is a worthy debate as to whether the women most ardently supportive of Clinton would accept the choice of anyone other than their candidate as the VP nominee (more on that in the case against Sebelius tomorrow), for the vast majority of female voters it could provide considerable impetus to turn out in the fall.

One reason I would like to see this happen is that it will reveal much about the most reality-challenged Clinton supporters. Would they finally understand the root of the problem with choosing their candidate? It isn’t that Hillary Clinton is a woman; it’s that Hillary Clinton is Hillary Clinton.
