Obama Picks Kansas Governor for Health and Human Services Secretary, Sources Say

President Obama asked Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to join his Cabinet as secretary of health and human services on Saturday
and Sebelius accepted, a senior administration official told FOX News.Sebelius
was insurance commission before serving as governor. This experience
gave administration officials confidence Sebelius could handle the
nitty-gritty details of health care in the tough battle ahead in
pursuit of universal health care.FOX
News' sources identified Sebelius as a contender for the post the day
the former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, the president's first
HHS nominee, withdrew from consideration amid a tax scandal.Sebelius had looked at running for the
open U.S. Senate seat in Kansas in 2010, but she and the administration
decided that race might be too difficult and her service at HHS could
give her a more reliable role in national policy.As HHS secretary, Sebelius will be among the top
advocates for the president's universal health care plan -- a greater
test of her policy and political skills than a protracted, expensive
and possibly unsuccessful Senate campaign would have been, Democratic
sources told FOX News.A Democrat hasn't won a U.S. Senate seat in Kansas since 1934.
