Governor Kathleen Sebelius
Democrat, Kansas
Website
First elected to the Kansas House in 1986, Gov. Sebelius left in 1994 to run for state insurance commissioner and shocked the state by winning — the first time for a Democrat in over 100 years. While there, she was credited for bringing major change to the health insurance agency and in 2002, used the strength of her reputation as a reformer to win the Governorship.
Donald B. Slutsky
Commentator, Father
Donald B. Slutsky brings over 55 years of liberal activism to the show. Ok, 54 of those were actually spent as a hardcore Republican, but we welcome him with open arms and a freshly corked pair of Birkenstocks to our team. When Don isn’t ranting on DoubleSpeak, you can find him in his homemade Situation Room (A.K.A the living room), monitoring Blitzer, Scarborough, Matthews and all the rest while calling his sons to offer political commentary and strategy for the Democratic Party.

Dear Senator,
I heard on tv today that you plan to endorse Obama for President. I wish you would give somemore thought to this. I was born in KS. and lived there until married and moved to MO. I have followed Kansas politics all my life. I have admired and supported you and your works as govenor. I believe you are a woman strong in your beliefs and efforts. It is dishartening to me that you would not support Clinton both for her works and beliefs. I know that Obama can give a good speech and seems to unite people but I feel he does not have the political experience necessary to be successful in completing his claims. Our standing in the world is so low now that it is going to take a President to meet with these friends and foes who can not only unite but bring back our rightful standing in the world along with bringing this country back to its rightful greatness. Hilary has been in politics for 30 some years and has met many of the world leaders the President will have to work with to solve some of these problems. So please have your endorsement stand for something besides omplementing a good speech. Let it stand for setting this country on a new path of accompolishment and success.
Thank you for your time.
