please please please.  And Senator Freudenthal too.  And Senator Napolitano.  And Senator Henry.  Senator Vilsack would be nice too.  

I LOVE Democratic governors of red states.

Senator Chandler, Senator Bredesen, Senator Manchin, Senator Lynch, Senator Kaine.

Really the only way to win Senate seats in red states is to elect governors, who are running for administrative positions that are less inherently polar, less about issue checklists, and less about the famous federal wedge issues.  In a governor race, you elect a sensible manager rather than a checklist of issues, and so Democrats can compete and win readily in red states.  Then, after two terms you can run that absurdly popular Democratic manager for Senate, even though the federal issues that Senators deal with generally lead the state to stick with republicans for that office.  That's how we got Evan Bayh and Ben Nelson and, to a lesser extent, Salazar.  They're not the left edge of the caucus, but if we could install Evan Bayhs in oklahoma, kansas, wyoming, arizona, kentucky, tennessee, and virginia, we'd have one hell of a majority going.

Mark Warner is the most recent example of this maneuver -- run as a nonideological, competent manager for governor, then become so popular your state will elect you to the issue-based Senate anyway.

Anyway, if she ain't a VP, I hope Sebelius is a Senator.
