30. Check out Sibelius. She's very cool.
She works very well with the totally lunatic KS Repug party, getting tough with their extremist positions while encouraging moderate views. She's a popular Dem governor in a very red state. She is very charismatic.

BTW, Kansas has a long history of moderate governors from both parties. Until recently, their Senators have included moderates as well. Do you remember Senator Nancy Landon Kassebaum(R-KS)? I crossed party and voted for her twice, this while I was a Dem party delegate. If only there were more Republicans in office like her now. We might not be in the pickle we're in.

I'm a fierce liberal, but I recognize the need to appeal to people of all political persuasions. The secret to winning is to not try to put up a seemingly ideological wall between the candidate and the voters. The top ticket should, to the best of our abilities, be balanced.

I'd like to hear from others on other possibles on the 2008 ticket. Still a little early, but it's fun to speculate.
