Republican Rep. Todd Tiahrt of Kansas said he would not back Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to head the Department of Health and Human Services.
Tiahrt said she "holds some liberal views that I cannot support," including abortion.
President Barack Obama nominated Sebelius this week as secretary of HHS. Tiahrt called the choice "par for the course."
Only the Senate will vote on Sebelius, so Tiahrt, who intends to run for the Senate next year, will have no vote.

Horray for Tiahrt, who is one of the best principled conservatives on The Hill. While Jerry Moran is acceptable, Tiahrt is the better Senate candidate and I hope FR makes his election a priority.
too bad he doesn’t have a vote in the Senate huh?
“too bad he doesn’t have a vote in the Senate huh?”
Not yet, but that could change in November of 2010, if conservatives rally around his candidacy now.
There was something about Sebelius having Tiller and his minions to the Governors mansion for a feast which made me queasy.
I am not using hyperbole, it literally made me slightly sick at the stomach to think of those monsters dining on lobster and prime beefsteak, which Kansas produces a good supply, at public expense. For some reason I could see ghouls eating babies in my mind.
