Janet Napolitano, who backed U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) against U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) early in the presidential primary process, sees no reason for alarm, according to her spokeswoman.

"The person keeping the list is certainly within her rights to do so," said Jeanine L'Ecuyer, Napolitano's press secretary.

A report by the New York Times Wednesday revealed numerous of Clinton's intimates and big-time backers had developed lists of "traitors" or "enemies" who either refused to support Sen. Clinton's nomination or initially backed her but switched to Obama. Susie Tomkins Buell, who founded the Esprit clothing line, has included Gov. Napolitano on her list.
