More Fun With Headlines

Yeah, well, if I wrote anything serious about the VP speculation, I’d have trouble respecting myself later. I mean, everyone is flipping out this morning because Obama said “he” instead of “he or she”. I’ll stick to easy jokes about headlines, thank you very much.
And in that vein: The New York Times says Kathleen Sebelius [...]
Vindication Will Be Mine

Jay Newton-Small runs through Obama’s VP options at Swampland, using the announced convention speakers to cross names off the list. It’s a sound method in theory1, but I think she makes a huge error in one instance. Sebelius, the first potential named, is immediately eliminated as a confirmed speaker. However, if you follow the link [...]

That said, he certainly has a significant following consisting of many [...]

Today, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D) vetoed a bill that would require voters starting in 2010 to show identification at the polls. In [...]
Obama/Sebelius

Chris Bowers uses somewhat different criteria (and a straw poll) to determine who should be Obama’s veep nominee than I have used when thinking about it on my own, but he ultimately comes to the same conclusion: Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is the best choice at the moment.
In summarizing his thoughts, Bowers writes:
