Campaign Notes.

As long as Barack is married to Michelle, Hillary Clinton won't be his running mate.

There is always the distinct possibility he won't be the nominee anyway.

Barack's "states 57" comment wasn't the only gaffe he's made in this campaign.

There's a lot of people, or some anyway, who seem to really want this
"dream ticket". To balance things out or bring in what people are saying are Clinton's demographic groups. That Obama could do by
choosing Strickland, Rendell, Bayh,
and some others.

In the end, I think the choice will be between Strickland or Sebelius.
I think it should be Sebelius now, as she reinforces Obama's core message. (As does Brad Henry of Oklahoma.)

Chris Cilliza's (Washington Post's The Fix) has his current list of likely choices, with Sebelius as most likely VP nominee, followed
(in this order) by: Strickland, Clinton, Kaine and Sam Nunn.

I think you are probably right about Sebelius. Strickland has just become governor of Ohio the past couple of years. Democrats need to hold onto that governorship. The problem with Sebelius is she is governor of Kansas, and Kansas is NOT going to go blue no matter what. Same is true for Georgia (Sam Nunn), and Virginia (Kaine).

It's going to be very hard for Obama to find somebody who will run with him who will add something to the ticket, if he gets the nomination, which is no sure thing.
