"I'm Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of the State of Kansas.
And I am grateful for the opportunity to speak with you tonight.
I'm a Democrat, but tonight, it really doesn't matter whether you think of yourself as a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent. Or none of the above.
Instead, the fact you're tuning in this evening tells me each of you is, above all, an American, first.
You are mothers, and fathers. Grandparents and grandchildren. Working people and business-owners. Americans, all.
And the American people - folks like you and me - are not nearly as divided as our rancorous politics might suggest. [...]
We are Americans sharing a belief in something greater than ourselves, a nation coming together to meet challenges and find solutions; to share sacrifices and share prosperity; and focus, once again, not only on the individual good but on the common good.
On behalf of the new American majority - the majority of elected officials at the national, state and local level, and the majority of Americans - we ask you, Mr. President, to join us. We are ready to work together, to be the America we have been - and can be once again.
Thank you for listening. God bless and sleep well. And in the morning, let's get to work."

She seems like a great person, but she is a boring public speaker. I had her as the frontrunner in the veepstakes, but this speech was so pedestrian. Obama needs a dynamo. Maybe she could kick it up a notch, but could you imagine her debating someone like Dick Cheney? People thought Edwards was too soft in '04. VP needs to be Hillary tough. But just not Hillary.

I agree with Williamdollar, If I was in Obamas' position my choices would be either Gov. Sebelius, Bill Richardson or Gov. Gregoire of Washington. Either way it goes Obamas gonna have to pick carefully.

Kathleen Sebelius ... ( 3 months ago by dixonblog)
Kathleen Sebelius would bring much needed executive experience to the ticket as VP.
However, neither Obama nor Sebelius has any military experience. Given that we are currently in 2 wars/occupations, the only way for Obama to win in a landslide is to get votes from military families, and that means choosing someone with military experience as VP. The last time a non-military Pres-and-VP combo got elected was 1940. Admittedly in that election, FDR had 8 years exp. as commander in chief.

this speech is painful to watch. Didn't she ever read out loud in school??

She should be VP. She would be a great addition to the ticket. Maybe she'll be the first female president after obama's term is over.

She shouldn't be vp, her speech is boring, she maybe good for her state but isn't of national caliber.
Your comment ... ( 3 months ago by mbfaust1)
Your comment suggests that you think that a woman as the Democratic VP helps the GOP, even one as middle of the road as Sebelius, who after all was elected by one of the five or six most Red states in the US, and is among the most centrist of any of the names for VP being thrown around now. Also, I presume you are aware that McCain is considering a couple of women for the VP post himself. Would you regard that as a disaster for your own party? Your remarks suggest misogyny. (I'm a guy).
Sebelius does not ... ( 3 months ago by kdoggpolo12)
Sebelius does not have any foreign policy experience and seems a little boring. For that I do not see her as a great choice for VP.

If you only knew how extensive the vetting is on each vp prospect, and yet you summed up all that mattered in two sentences. Bravo.

sometimes, members of the other party win govships in opposite party states. Just because Pataki was a GOPer did not mean Dole or Bush ever had a snowball's chance in hell of carrying the state. The same for Kansas. Obama will get cremated there. plus, this speech is HORRIBLE. Do you really want this dud campaigning?
It's true that ... ( 2 months ago by andypowersmail)
It's true that there are no rhetorical fireworks in this speech, but that's because Governor Sebelius is a bridge builder, a uniter. She is not a fan of slash and burn politics, something she has in common with ordinary people around the world. I think she's a remarkable woman, who deserves respect.

John McCain ... ( 2 months ago by blueangelfish1)
John McCain realizes he can not win so he has started a serious effort to discredit Obama and weaken his Presidency early on. It's the kitchen sink strategy that Hillary tried earlier this year. There is nothing hopeful about it and it says more about them than about us. We as Democrats must hold them accountable for THEIR war, THEIR economy, THEIR gas prices and THEIR lack of values! Only 24% of Americans think we are on the right track...that's the Republican record. Say it often!

I'm sorry, but I feel like she took 3 Xanax before making this speech. I'm sure she's got a great heart and is quite intelligent, but unfortunately, people will switch the channel on her in a second. :-/
