I think he or his wife, perhaps together, need to make a sexism speech, somewhat like the racism speech. Admit it exists, it was probably embedded in the campaign somewhat (I didn't see that much and I think the iron my shirts people were possibly plants), we need to keep breaking down barriers etc. etc. Then he needs to say he is not going to keep from choosing someone because she is a woman. He is not going to select somewhat either unqualified or incompatable because she is a woman. He intends to go with the spirit of the law and have at least neutrality, and if he so chooses, some form of affirmative action. He needs to directly and strongly address the shenanigans of the PUMA crowd and say he understands their disappointment, he will consider their preferred candidate, but he does not intend to discriminate against other women because they want him to.

I personally really like Sebelius, although I think her abortion issues will cause no end of problems. But everyone who mentions her says but the Hillary supporters wouldn't like it. So..Richardson supporters won't like it if Bayh is chosen. She should not be called HIllary lite when it seems to me she is certainly equally qualified. We need to address this "any other woman is a slap in the face" nonsense. Or end up with Evan Bayh, who mgiht be perfectly OK, as vice president. End of story. mg
