Sebelius to HHS

According to the New York Times, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (Democrat-KS) is expected to be nominated as President Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary.

Sebelius, an early ally of Obama's, and someone who is believed to have been on his V.P. short list, was expected to run for the U.S. Senate in 2010. However, when Tom Daschle withdrew his nomination to the HHS post, Sebelius became the early favorite to head the department that will tackle the health care issue in Mr. Obama's administration.
