				<p><strong>I can think of something else...</strong></p><p>This victory may not be as solid as we'd like to believe. &nbsp;The override vote passed in the Senate, and only failed by four votes in the House. &nbsp;The vote went more along regional lines than party lines; overall, that seems like an optimistic omen, but it makes it much harder to guess what the next election will do.</p><p>
More tellingly, when is Sebelius up for re-election, and how safe is her job likely to be? &nbsp;Anyone out there have any insight?</p>

				<p><strong>kansas coal plants</strong></p><p>Does anyone know if this story has made any national media outlets? &nbsp;It seems that such a precedent- "first government agency in the United States to reject a permit for construction of a coal-fired power plant based on its carbon dioxide emissions"- would be of &nbsp;vital importance as other states and communities make similar decisions about their future power production.</p>

				<p><strong>It's been mentioned in the media...</strong></p><p>...but it wasn't really a top story to 'em. &nbsp;There was widespread coverage in Kansas though.</p>

				<p><strong>Sebelius and the veto votes</strong></p><p>In fact the four vote margin in failure to overturn the veto is stronger than the previous one vote margin of a month earlier. &nbsp;Today the Republican House and Senate are trying to insert the bill into another more popular bill to force it through. &nbsp;This however appears to be against the states constitution. &nbsp;Sunflower Electric is running out of time, facing 40% increase in steel prices, set a June/July decision date to drop the plan, or to continue to meddle in Kansas politics. &nbsp;Only 15% of the power was for Kansas (but all the pollution), the balance is for nearby &nbsp;states which have already restricted such plants. &nbsp;As for the Democrat governor Sebelius, she is term limited now, she will be out of office following the 2010 election. &nbsp;The uberconservative Senator Brownback, fresh from a failed Presidential bid wants the position.</p>
