Obama-Napolitano a winning ticket

[SoCalDem]

She'd be 58 after two terms...

It would also be a bonus to WIN Arizona :evilgrin:

They LOVE her..

Picture of Governor Janet Napolitano Governor Janet Napolitano is one of our nation’s most innovative, influential and inspirational leaders. As the 21st governor of Arizona she has taken the reins with a clear vision, and moved the state into the 21st century.

Chosen by Time Magazine as one of America’s Top Five Governors, Janet Napolitano’s hallmark is common sense – she does what makes sense and what works.

She continues to fight for quality schools, affordable health care, sensible and forward-thinking economic development, a safe homeland, and has taken extensive measures to create fiscal responsibility and to end bureaucratic waste.

Governor Napolitano championed voluntary full-day kindergarten, available for all Arizona children. She pushed for a historical teacher pay raise – an acknowledgement to those who have chosen the most valuable of professions. She also provided record financial support for Arizona’s universities and community colleges, recognizing the need for a well educated work force to ensure the success of Arizona’s future.

She fought to preserve health insurance for our state’s entrepreneurs, while putting into place steps that will help ensure all Arizona children have health care.

Napolitano leads the nation in addressing illegal immigration, and was the first governor to call for the National Guard at the border at federal expense. She continues to be a national voice in calling upon the federal government to accept their responsibility for our nation’s borders.

Governor Napolitano leadership has expanded to outside our state’s boundaries. She recently concluded her term as the first woman and first Arizonan chosen to chair the National Governors Association where her groundbreaking Innovation America platform will continue to move forward.

Prior to her election as Governor, Napolitano served as U.S. Attorney for Arizona and as Arizona’s first female Attorney General.

She’s one of Arizona’s brightest stars who will continue to shine a light on the issues affecting not only Arizona, but the nation.

The only thing I wouldn't like about that

is losing her as governor.

4. It puts Executive experience on the ticket. and puts the western states back into play

as well as helping with the female voters

[SoCalDem]

12. Yep.. the Hillary people would have to show their true loyalties

was it really Bill they wanted?? or did they really want a woman working in the White House as vp..

[Johnny__Motown]

1. I think so, I would put her in my top 5 picks for VP, maybe higher (not that my opinion matters)

[livetohike]

2. I think she'd be a good choice

:thumbsup:

[SoCalDem]

5. and it would tee her up as a REAL choice for the first woman president

someone who did not stand on the shoulders of a husband..and someone who did it themselves.. and REAL women's role model

[Johnny__Motown]

9. I agree

[livetohike]

10. Agreed!

:toast:

[SoCalDem]

11. and after 8 yrs as vp, she would have REAL experience

not someone else's resume'..

[livetohike]

13. And still be relatively young!

:-)

[SoCalDem]

14. She's PERFECT..

and smart.. and has common sense

[mrreowwr_kittty]

3. Her being from AZ is probably the main reason they wouldn't choose her.

They'll want some "strategic" pick from a swing state.

[Johnny__Motown]

7. That is a strategic choice. Western strategy is why our convention is in CO. Then McCain won and

made the western strategy much harder

[SoCalDem]

8. I think Obama would LOVE to win Arizona..and she could do it

They probably keep electing Mccain because it's a habit..

With Her and Richardson probably as Sec of State the west would be in play..big time...

6. She belongs on the short list!

she's a rising star in the party and an early supporter of Obama.
