Obama victory throws spotlight on Kan., Ariz. govs

Sent from Express News
TOPEKA, Kan. - The veep sweeps are in full buzz, and there's increasing chatter surrounding two rising Democratic stars - Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, two potential running mates who could help Barack Obama woo female voters.

Both are well-regarded within national Democratic circles for winning two terms in states that traditionally lean Republican. They're seen as serious contenders for the No. 2 spot because Democrats worry Obama's presidential-primary victory has alienated supporters of his chief rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
