Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

If Obama thinks that by picking another woman that would draw Hillary Clinton' supporters to his side i.e. those that are women , in my opinion that would be a move that would backfire.

What that would signal to me is that the only reason I am supporting Hillary Clinton is because she is a woman.

There is a lot more to my support of Hillary Clinton than the fact that she is a woman.

Hence putting Kathleen Sebelouis on the ticket would not make me anymore likely to support him if I am so inclined eventually , infact it would make me less likely to support him because it would be very insulting and patronizing to me.

This whole diary suggests that identity politics is the root of the support for Hillary Clinton among women.

That is what I am responding to and that is wrong.

Look the best way for Obama to have a better chance of getting her supporters is for him to publicly offer the VP position to her and I expect her to reject it , then he can pick whoever he wants (Man or Woman ).

however to just skip right over her and put another woman on the ticket thinking that automatically he would get her female supporters would backfire with me.

That is a mindset that makes her supporters out to be interested only in identity politics and not the policies and qualifications among other things she has.

I hope I am clear enough.
