Sebelius, Can You Believe This

By Kleinheider Posted on February 9, 2009 at 7:55 am

Jeff Woods thinks Phil Bredesen is gonna have a hard time besting the other reported contenders for the job of Health and Human Services Secretary:

Let’s face it. Sebelius has got it all over Bredesen for this job. She was an early supporter of Obama for president. Bredesen didn’t get behind Obama until it became obvious he would win the nomination. Along the way, our governor cleverly bad-mouthed Obama, repeatedly telling one of the best campaigners in American political history that he was screwing things up with the Wal-Mart crowd.

    Another factor of consideration is that both Democratic governors would turn their states over to Republican lt. governors. That’s a tougher pill to swallow in Kansas. After all, Tennessee’s anemic Democratic Party with its clueless chairman doesn’t even have a candidate for governor in 2010. At best, they’ll probably con a sacrificial lamb into running.

    I also wonder if Obama might need a “Sistah Souljah moment” with the liberal health care crowd. Americans aren’t completely comfortable with the idea of universal care yet. There might be some advantages to Obama of sending the message that he’s not just a mouthpiece for the liberal advocates.
