Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius put to rest any talk that she's interested in the Secretary of Commerce job now that Bill Richardson's out.
"No, no," the Democrat said when reporters asked just after Dennis McKinney was sworn in as state treasurer.
Last month, Sebelius said she would stay in Topeka because 1) her husband Gary's job as a federal judge is here, and 2) she didn't want to skip out as the state wrestles with a $1 billion budget deficit.
A sudden opening in President-elect Obama's cabinet doesn't change that, she said today. Husband Gary's still here, and that budget problem? "Unfortunately that's still the same today as it was two weeks ago," she said.
She said her decision "had nothing to do with the (cabinet) options" available.
