Unlike the other posts "from Sekhar," which are extracted from his voluminous emails, this one is from conversation.
How is Obama going to win back the Hillary voters? On the assumption that most of the die-hard Hillary voters are supporting her not because of her policies (hard to distinguish from Obama's on the surface), or because they hate Obama (a lost cause anyway), but because they like the idea of a woman president, and object to Hillary's treatment in the campaign, a good way to do it would be to choose a woman (white, naturally) as a running mate. Not Hillary -- the Clinton's have done as much as they can to scotch that possibility. Katherine Sibelius of Kansas, despite her anemic response to the State of the Union, or Janet Napolitano, despite her inability to bring along Arizona, given McCain, are likely possibilities. If only Jennifer Granholm of Michigan hadn't backed Clinton. Of course, given the noises from Maria Cantwell in Washington about switching away from Clinton, who knows what will happen if Obama starts to put out feelers.
