Barack Obama almost selected Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President

There is an update to this post Please review the update….

We have a credible lead that Barack Obama will be announcing Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President / VP.

Our sources work within an ad agency that is hired by the Obama campaign, and have noted that the vast majority of the discussions there are regarding material logistics in terms of Kathleen on the vice president ticket. Now until this is verified please file it as rumor, however our sources on this are not bad.. and have yet to be proven wrong.

Our source noted “It will get a women on the ticket that shares the same views as Obama” a reference to many of the Hillary supporters..

Then of course we had to do some research.

We held some general opinions prior to this little research project. One of them being that they wouldn’t have multiple domain providers, it becomes a hassle.. so the chances are they used the same registrar.

The Main BARACK OBAMA site is using Godaddy as their registrar and uses DomainControl.com as their DNS… pretty generic.. as anyone can pretty much do that…

Now were it get’s interesting is the other contenders…

Domain Name: BARACKOBAMA.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS05.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS06.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

It appears OBAMASEBELIUS.COM is owned by the Obama Campaign, and the ‘hidden’ registration will turn into a website after the announcement. Our lead noted that a site is already being designed .. and advertising agencies are always full of leaks. Again file as rumor until verified…

We will compare the evidence we are allowed to show you without anyone getting fired.

So lets compare our suspect:

Domain Name: OBAMASEBELIUS.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS03.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS04.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

So far a perfect match for Kathleen Sebelius

But let’s research this more as there are other contenders out there that could have the exact same output. Let’s look at Joe Biden.

Domain Name: OBAMABIDEN.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS19.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS20.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

Sounds good so far.. until you see this:

Registrant:
LYLE DEAN
1571 CHURCH ST
SAN FRANCISCO, California 94131
United States

That’s a show stopper… because there is no way that Obama would allow this to happen with the domain name owned by someone else with unknown political views that could turn it into a porn site.

So let’s check Senator Evan Bayh, as a potential candidate.

Domain Name: OBAMABAYH.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS1.COFFEYDESIGN.COM
Name Server: NS2.COFFEYDESIGN.COM

Nameservers don’t match, and to make it worse.. the site goes to an RSS parser.. and nothing more.

So let’s try Tim Kaine

Domain Name: OBAMAKAINE.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: CPNS01.SECURESERVER.NET
Name Server: CPNS02.SECURESERVER.NET

Nameservers don’t match as well… however the registrar does.

This is possible, however unlikely. The chances are the same group that built BARACKOBAMA.COM will be building the new site. So the chances are that they are all going to be roughly identical.

This evidence isn’t conclusive with what is currently available, but the signs do point to Kathleen Sebelius.

Now coupled that with the lead we got.. and we feel there is well over a 50% chance that she will be Obama’s vice president.

Enjoy the speculation.

    Biden as SecState. He’ll be effective and credible in that role. I know little about Kathleen Sebelius currently and studying up on her now.

  • SylviaB

    I think Sebelius as the VP choice would be a wonderful choice. She is more in line with Barack Obama than any of the other VP’s. Clinton — too much dirt in closet, Kaine — anti-choice, Bayh — voted for war, Biden — voted for war. Sebelius appears to have the empathy for others like Senator Obama. Sebelius would be a great choice!

    This will perpel Obama to the top for sure!!! I hope he chooses this lady. I have heard and read nothing but great things, and it will also put to rest all of the Hillary as VP mess…..YUCK! All Hillary has managed to do is put women further back in time. It will be a long time before a women is in charge. It’s sad to.because I LIKED Hillary. The key word there is “LIKED”. Hillary was alright until she lost those 11 straight primaries. Then she took the low road. She accused Obama of many things….and then when she lost she acknowledged that she would be interested in the VP position with Obama. How ugly is that!!! She (Hillary) called this man all of those things and then she wants to run with him for office. PLEASE!!! Why would she want to run with someone that is all of those “bad” things she mentioned? I can’t understand that! I am glad she will not be on the ticket. She and Bill have a lot of baggage anyway. My thing is this. For all of you people that don’t like Obama for whatever reason…..then vote for McCain. When you vote for McCain…remember that you had a chance to better YOUR household. When your child is sick explain to that child why you can’t afford to get them the help they need. When your house forecloses and you are on on the street remember that you had a chance to prevent that, but you let the color of a man’s skin get in the way of that. You people ought to be ashamed of yourself for jepordizing the well-being of your family because of someone’s skin color. Let’s be honest….everyone knows Obama’s policy is better for the household you live in as well as the country. So to vote for McCain if you are not making a king’s ransom ($250,000) could only mean that you don’t want to see someone of color in office. What else could it be other then that? This man McCain flip-flops more then flipper. He is also George Bush’s mini-me. He does whatever Bush tells him. We can’t afford another eight years of stupidity. One more thing….how does McCain have “more experience” then Obama? I looked up all of the presidents in the past and no where did I see McCain’s name. I am pretty-sure McCain knows most of those guys seeing that he is almost 400 years old, but where is the experience? Just another lie to try and make this guy look good. Lord knows he will need all the help he can get….and YOU will too if he gets in office.

  • I Have My Eye On You

    The Obama Hussien campaign thinks picking Sebelius is going to help them win. I don’t think so. It’s a slap in the face to Hillary. Whether you like her or not, more people voted for her than Obama. The DNC took the nomination from her and believe me, the women in this country are not going to for get it.

    So, wait and see. Obama may have lots of money in the coffer, and a Political machine from Chicago backing him, but he can’t change the fact that, he’s not a reputable candidate. He’s got too many skeletons in the closet, namely his religious mentor Rev. Wright. His wife’s racist views. His associations with questionable people, like Ayers, the Priest(can’t remember his name) Resko, come on people WAKE UP.

    It’s the less than intelligent kids in this country that are backing him, not the adults. So, baby boomers better get their write in votes in, and the rest better get to the polls on election day. Let’s take back this country from the Children. Remember they are 28th in the world when it comes to education. Not too bright!

  • Not Fooled

    Clinton supporters are refusing to back Obama because a female that was more qualified for the job did not get it and that obvious sexism played a major role. Add to that the anti-democratic behaviors that provided Obama his narrow margin and you have got alot of angry patriots on you hands, mostly female, but not all so.

    Obama just does not get it.

    I am personally thrilled that Sen. Obama has selected a woman; however, this is not what will win him the election. Sen. Obama still does not tell us “HOW” he is going to accomplish all of the things as “CHANGE” as what his campaign is based on. I am a registered DEMOCRAT but at this point in time, I must vote for Sen. John McCain. At least when Sen. McCain talks of “CHANGE” he explains how he is going to make it happen.

    Your headline is misleading. Obama has not selected anyone as his vice president yet. Too bad. You’re so desperate to derail the election towards your nominee, whoever it is. And by putting this news as if….you are weakening your media’s hold on people’s trust in your web publication. Don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

    Initially I was a Clinton supporter even before her husband became president. When the Jennifer Flowers and other rumors surfaced, I admired the way Hillary Clinton told the public that if they didn’t like the man to not vote for him. I also admired the way she stood by him throughout all the news about his and hers private lifestyle. I admired the way she rebounded and became a Senator for New York even though she was not from that state. But, when I heard Barack speak, my heart was sold on his message and heartfelt desire to bring about change in the way our country does business. When I heard about Kathleen Sebelius’ early support of him, I was impressed by her courage although I had never heard of her. The moment I saw her some months ago, my heart informed my mind that she was the one Obama should select as his Vice President. I believe that he can trust her to do what is right. Although I’ve never met her, I love the spirit of the woman from what I’ve seen and heard.

    I continue to admire Mrs. Clinton for her courage and ability to go on in the face of continuing saga’s about her husband whether true or not. In the face of competition sometimes we lose and sometimes we win. However, nothing is more heartbreaking than than matters of the heart related to a beloved and significant other who just happens to be the father of your child. Having said this, and with Barack Obama having won the democratic nomination, I strongly believe that he should be free to select a running mate with whom he feels most comfortable, Sometimes, one must step out on faith.

    Some how statement comes off as any woman will do. That should sink Obamas campain for sure. Also to say he is picking a woman that thinks like him. Well nobody is really sure, what Obamas thinking. He has yet to stand firm on any issue. McCain will have a field day with this situation. Of course the issues McCain stands firm on are pretty scary. He definitly should not be running the country. I fear that if McCain is elected, he will be the last US President. If Obama wants to win, he must prove he is a Leader. Present an issue, and stand firm on it. Where does he stand on Civil Rights. Where does he stand on health care. Where does he stand on the role the United States will play in the future. Unemployment, US Economy, any issue. He said he was for Civil Liberties, yet signed another bill taking them away (Right to Privecy Vs Gov. right to info). He has a history of changing horse mid stream. These are not qualities for leadership. The best thing he has going for him is John McCain. The more McCain talks, the more votes Mr. Obama will get!

    The goal in selecting a running mate is to balance out the candidate for president. That being said, a woman (minority in politics) from the midwest (like Chicago) who thinks like Obama, does not do the trick, sad to say. Both women are well-qualified in their own distinct ways. But what the party traditionally would opt for is someone white, male, older, more established and experienced, who appears to be more middle-of-the road. My money would be on Biden or Bayh. It would give McCain an edge at the convention, if he selects a running mate who is a woman. However, there is a lot of election between the convention and November. Just my two cents.

    Put down the crack pipe, folks.

    That whole agency needing lead time spiel is malarky of the highest order.

    The Obama campaign all ready has a website, so any Obamasebelius.com action would be a domain redirect and nothing more.

    Any changes would be to the main Obama site, which would not need “weeks to set up the code.”

    Furthermore, Obama has a team of web professionals working on the site, and don’t need to hire out to do a cosmetic change (new logo, new pics, new copy) when he chooses a VP. And they certainly would not trust in an outside agency’s discretion.

    and finally, whatever domains are all ready registered don’t mean a thing – they would just buy it or go with a different tag – like obamabayh08. Why do you think so many websites are XXXXthemovie.com? because they could not register xxxx.com, that’s why. and so you work around it.

    and not even fox news could make folk think obama and biden are behind a porn site, even if it is called obamabiden.com.

    I believe it was always hers to lose. Kathleen Sebelius was the ace up Obama’s sleeve before the first primary. The fact that Obama’s supporters in Congress managed to get her selected — right under Sen. Clinton’s nose — as the Democratic responder to Bush’s final SOTU address was the first ripple of a tidal wave of Clinton Campaign cluelessness. Sebelius announced her support for Obama the next day…I’m sure much to the shock of Penn, Wolfson, Ickes, and the Clintons
    I believe that Axelrod, Plouffe, and Obama have run the tightest, best-planned campaign in American history. And it’s not over yet.

    Protective of both Kathleen and Michelle, Obama was exceptionally careful to conduct a non-sexist campaign against Clinton. For those of you howling in disbelief, I remind you that the FOX’s and MSNBC’s of the world have a mind — and goal — of their own:
    Ratings…driven by controversy. The difference between Obama’s campaign and his campaign coverage is, to paraphrase Mark Twain, the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. Wish that were true of the McCain campaign and the Mainstream Media, but it is not.

    And finally, remember, Obama is a Christian. For those of you again howling in disgust or cynicism, you clearly haven’t read his books. He is, to quote Anne Lamotte, “the other kind of Christian”. He did unto Hillary what he would have others do unto Kathleen. Go after her record, go after her positions, go after her connections, but don’t go after her gender. In running against Hillary’s (and Bill’s) record, lobbyists, hidden Foundation donors, and general Corporate Republicrat/Insider/Status Quo/Same-Old-Drama Persona and NOT her gender, Obama established the moral high-ground(work) for the candidacy of Kathleen Sebelius.

    Effing brilliant.
