Dems urge Kathleen Sebelius to run for Senate (says she might too)

Sebelius Said to Weigh Run for Kansas Senate Seat
Yeah, This is the one who rolled out the Obama Care Debacle.
...stop laughing. this is NEWS!
Quote
In her darkest hour last fall, Kathleen Sebelius suffered one of the deepest cuts from an old family friend who accused her of “gross incompetence” over the rollout of the Affordable Care Act and demanded that she resign as secretary of health and human services. Now she is weighing revenge.

Ms. Sebelius is considering entreaties from Democrats who want her to run against that old friend, Senator Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas.

Several Democrats said this week that Ms. Sebelius had been mentioned with growing frequency as someone who could wage a serious challenge to Mr. Roberts, 77, who is running for a fourth term and is considered vulnerable. One person who spoke directly to Ms. Sebelius said that she was thinking about it, but added that it was too soon to say how seriously she was taking the idea.

It was only last week, after all, that Ms. Sebelius, 65, said that she would step down from her cabinet job.

Even if Ms. Sebelius had not presided over the Department of Health and Human Services at a time of turmoil and self-inflicted distress — and while carrying out a law that inspires such anger on the right — her candidacy would be a tough sell in Kansas. Democrats have not held a Senate seat in the state since 1939. And even before the president’s popularity started to take a steep slide last year, he fared especially poorly in Kansas, winning only 38 percent of the vote there in 2012.


Democrats say that Ms. Sebelius would be their best hope at winning in a tough state, especially if Mr. Roberts loses his primary to Milton Wolf, a Tea Party-backed radiologist who has alarmed mainstream Republicans with some of his actions, such as when he posted gruesome pictures of gunshot victims on Facebook.

Perhaps more significant, Ms. Sebelius would force Republicans to spend money in Kansas as they tried to fight off her challenge. Her family has a long history in the state, and she was a popular, twice-elected governor. In 2006, she was re-elected with 58 percent of the vote.

Incompetence....for most jobs it's a hinderance. If you're running for an elected Democrat government position it's a resume enhancer.

She'll fit right in with the majority of the idiots in the Senate.

There are very, very few of them that are worth more than the paper on which their names are written.  :whatever:

Exactly.

If there is ANYBODY on this planet even more firmly welded to the intentional distruction of the US healthcare system under ObamaCoup than Obama is, it would be this stupid scrunt.

Only if her opponent is a gibbering retard, would that fact never come up in the course of the campaign (which, given the Republicans' propensity for shooting themselves in the dick, certainly increases the probability that it will never even occur to Senator Roberts to bring it up).

You can bank on the "gibbering retard." It's the best the Repubs can do of late. After all, look who they've got in the Speaker gig.  :whatever:
