Kathleen Sebelius was elected Kansas governor by playing down partisanship and capturing more than Democrats’ votes. But she has been boldly partisan ever since she endorsed Barack Obama in January, and recently on the attack against John McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin. If Obama wins, Sebelius might get a Cabinet job. But if he loses, Sebelius’ logical next move would be a run for Congress. “Will moderate and independent voters — whose support she’d need to get to Washington — forgive and forget the partisanship Sebelius has been displaying since before the primary?” asks the Topeka Capital-Journal’s Ric Anderson. We could add that Sebelius now has another problem with some voters — her efforts to keep western Kansas from getting new coal-fired power plants.

On coal-fired power plants for Holcomb/Garden City area, Sebelius had two ways to go: yes or no. It was hard to equivacate on this decision or she probably would have. By luck for Kansas, she went the right way, that is, save Kansas for the people, not big corporate industrial bosses and their politician lapdogs.
When Sebelius stands up to the energy companies and lobbyists she isn’t “bipartisan”. If she was a Republican and did it she’d be called a reformer.
Until she stands up and reforms SRS and cleans up the Sedgwick County DA’s office she is unfit for a national role.
Tellthetruth - that is far to politcal of a hot topic for her to touch. She could care less about the children. Her own secretary of SRS explained one of the problems and Sebelius made him retract his comments.
She has done nothing to change SRS.
Kathy has always had a problem with me, much of it started with the statements she made at the Greensburg aftermath. I don’t like her stand on Greenhouse gases and global warming(there is none that we control). Typical over the top lib dem governor.
I hope Kathleens time is being billed to the Ones campaign and the money returned to the people of kansas.
Why can’t she just go back to Ohio and “help” them?
Jstink-save Kansas for the people, not big corporate industrial bosses and their politician lapdogs.

Yeah, bringing a bunch of lousy jobs and lower energy prices………
who needs it……….
Wonder if Obama’s people are paying a living wage to the workers in these offices?
Someone should check into the Govs travels to see if the taxpayers of Kansas are paying for all of these Obama trips she’s been and is making.
Sebelius is seeing her last days in the political limelight, her days are numbered.
She was passed over as a V.P. pick, which was a wise decision for sure, and now she is reduced to ineffective and halfhearted attacks on the Republican ticket.
Her true value is now being shown, as nobody is paying any attention to her anymore.
A wise decision for sure.
PS:
Notice how very few even care to involve themselves with this thread….nobody cares about what Kathleen thinks or does.
I am glad Rhonda brought this up though to demonstrate the lack of interest in Kathy.
