Sebelius at HHS, Carrion unannounced
Ben Smith's Blog — Peter Baker names Kathleen Sebelius the frontrunner to head HHS.

The White House press office didn't respond to a question about the (non-)appointment, and last I'd heard was that the Bronx had brought along some non-fatal vetting challenges, but that he was expected to get the job. Still, puzzling.

The Atlantic Politics Channel — The New York Times reports this morning that Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas has emerged as the leading candidate to be nominated for Secretary of Health and Human Services.  White House officials insist on caution when using the term "leading."  But of the two candidates known to be vetted (the other is Tennessee's Phil Bredesen), only Sebelius has yet to pooh-pooh her own chances.
