Say it ain\u2019t so!<\/p>\n
Soon-to-be-former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius \u201cis considering entreaties from Democrats who want her to run against her old friend, Senator Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas,\u201d reports the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to see how this news is anything other than an attempt to put a softer spin on Sebelius\u2019s disastrous tenure as the face of ObamaCare.<\/p>\n Considering how much the Left loathes her mismanagement<\/a> of Healthcare.gov \u2013 driving down public confidence in government<\/a> to record lows \u2013 it\u2019s no surprise that friends of Sebelius are trying to rehabilitate her image by saying the former two-term Kansas governor could be just the candidate to topple Roberts.<\/p>\n Making the GOP spend money and time on a race they would otherwise win easily could burnish Sebelius\u2019s \u2018good soldier\u2019 credentials. Actually winning the seat would give Democrats their first U.S. Senator from Kansas since 1939.<\/p>\n Still, whatever goodwill Sebelius had as governor has been forgotten long ago. In the current reality, it\u2019s difficult to see how she could step down from such a bad job at HHS into an underdog Senate campaign and emerge as anything other than a twice rejected public servant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Say it ain\u2019t so!
