This is an enhanced version of my earlier post. To be sung to the tune of The “Twelve Days of Christmas“, whose lyrics are modified to apply to Obama's picks for his Cabinet and other key posts. The list is intended to be cumulative (that is, each person is picked only once). At the end I present those left out due to time constraints (Only twelve days!)

Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius will campaign for Barack Obama at four stops across Ohio on Saturday. Govs. Napolitano and Sebelius, the daughter of former Ohio Governor John Gilligan, will kick off their campaign swing in Columbus by rallying Obama supporters participating in "Knock for Barack" canvassing events this weekend. Knock for Barack is an ongoing effort to reach voters in every corner of Ohio through grassroots neighbor-to-neighbor organizing and to mobilize support for Obama’s campaign to bring real change to Washington.
Following the rally in Columbus, Govs. Napolitano and Sebelius will host town hall forums on the economy with voters in Columbus, Marion, and Rossford. The forums will focus on Obama’s vision for helping working families, rebuilding our faltering economy, and adding jobs in Ohio and across the country.
Details on tomorrow's events are below. Each is open to the public, but click an event's title to RSVP on My.BarackObama.com.

I'm not sure we're ever going to see Gov. Sarah Palin tested by our world class media (ahem), so, in the absence of access to Palin, people need to be directed to her Charlie Rose appearance from Oct. 2007, where she pales in comparison to Gov. Janet Napolitano. While Gov. Napolitano addresses Charlie's questions and followups directly and in detail, Gov. Palin demonstrates a weakness on the issues, redirecting issues back to "energy" (i.e. oil) and avoiding substantive responses.
My take... Sarah Palin is very personable, well-spoken (no Bush, here), telegenic..... but is woefully thin on issues (at the time of this roundtable) -- for which she uses her media skills to compensate.
I recently commented on a blog that said we might have to swallow our pride and accept Hillary as Obama's VP. To heck with that! We have one of the most qualified women in the nation right here in Arizona: Janet Napolitano. She's smart, actually experienced (rather than the trumped up "35" years of experience that Hillary claims), deals with the difficult issues like illegal immigration and underfunded education, supports womens issues, and BEST OF ALL, would give John McCain a run for his money in his own home state.
What can we do to make sure her name is under consideration?
Why are some of us losing faith in Barack, panicking and spreading fear among us? What is all this story about Al Gore being needed to come and save us? We have no reason to fear! Barack will win the nomination and he will unite the party for the final victory...
