Napolitano to stump for Obama

By Evan Brown, PolitickerAZ.com Reporter

Gov. Janet NapolitanoGov. Janet Napolitano expects to be appearing on the campaign trail and in the media on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, according to Napolitano spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer.

'We fully expect the governor to be travelling and doing a whole lot of media on behalf of Senator Obama," L'Ecuyer told PolitickerAZ.com Friday.

Napolitano was an early supporter of the junior senator from Illinois, and with the choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as the running mate of U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Phoenix), female surrogates for Obama - particularly female governors - are expected to have an increased role in the campaign.

According to a story in the New York Times on Thursday, "Obama aides said they were counting on not only Mrs. Clinton but also Democratic female governors to rebut Ms. Palin — and, by extension, Mr. McCain. Those governors include Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas."

As of yet, though, there are no firm plans as to when or where Napolitano will be deployed on Obama's behalf.

"The status is evolving," said L'Ecuyer. "The Obama team is extraordinarily flexible, and they inform us of plans close to executing them. We don't get a whole lot of lead time."

Liberal Janet lovers are so

posted by Glad to be an Independent

Liberal Janet lovers are so out of touch with real women they can't accept what just happened - and who drove through the 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling.

Here's a concept: Maybe its not about gender equality at all, but about WHO the individual representative happens to be? Dems should have stayed with Hillary.

Janet's "hate rant" at the convention

posted by Italiana

And Palin's speech was genteel? Give me a break!

There are plenty of women who are disgusted beyond belief with McCain's utter shamelessness in getting the Republican nomination. The "maverick" is now nothing but a tired old school neocon, courting the same religious extremists he used to denounce.

Contrast Janet with Sarah

posted by Veritas Vincit

Now let us consider Janet as a "female surrogate" in contrast to Sarah Palin.

Hockey Mom? nope
Five kids and loving handsome husband? nope
Fighting corruption in her own party? nope

And contrast Janet's public speaking style and podium persona with that of Sarah Palin; no contest among women voters.

Lastly, who can the majority of women identify with, Janet or Sarah? Again, that's a no brainer.

Napolitano is attempting to insert herself into somewhere she is ill equipped to go. Too bad for her political future but great for the rest of us!

Napolitano joins the Haters Club

posted by Veritas Vincit

Anyone who watched our Governor's speech at the Democratic National Convention saw someone poorly skilled in public speaking, out of her league, and generally on a hate rant against Republicans.

This woman belongs in the background, she is not a starting line-up player. In public appearances Janet will become a fast liability to the Obama effort.

That IS unless she is deployed to speak before other classes of "Hater" groups.
