A chick-less ticket?

Awaiting word of the Democratic vice-presidential pick, it looks increasingly less likely that it will be a broad.

    Are we interchangeable?

    I voted for Hillary in the primary, because I thought she was my best choice - not because she is a woman. Do not make the mistake of putting any woman on the ticket, thinking it will placate Hillary supporters or those who think he needs to pick one. Some Hillary supporters will not be happy with anyone but Hillary. As for us "thinking" Hillary supporters, we will be voting for Obama, no matter who his running mate is - I just want him to pick the most qualified person. Kathleen Sebelius? No foreign policy experience and a chance at a whopping 6 electoral votes from Kansas (who will not turn blue just because their governor is on the ticket). Obama has better choices.
