Repub Gov's Really Don't Like the Voters

Ever since the stimulus passed some repub govs have been saying they won't take the money for political aspirations financial reasons. (Mainly, they want to run for pres in 2012.) Now, both dem and repub state reps are turning against them.

"But what began with a bang is ending with something closer to a whimper. All three of those governors have been forced to scale back their expectations, to varying degrees, as the push of conservative philosophy gave way to the pull of political reality....All three found that praise from the conservative movement in Washington meant nothing to furious state legislators of both parties."

Basically, they wanted to cut unemployment from the money and some wanted to cut health care as well.

I can tell you how sick it makes me to think that these fools would trade money/benefits for those down and out for political aspirations of the future.

Kansas Governor Tapped for Health and Human Services

The very popular gov of Kansas, Katherine Sebelius, was tapped by Obama to be the H n H Secretary. I think Obama knows that Sebelius was the likely next senator from Kansas b/c of the 2010 open senate election in Kansas. She was a shoe in, which would have put Obama at 60 senate seats. 

Knowing this, he really must have wanted her.
