Sebelius says talks, but no offer

From the Associated Press


Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has confirmed that she talked to Bill Snyder about serving as her lieutenant governor in 2006 during his break from coaching Kansas State football.

But she said Friday while attending a health care event in
Omaha, Neb., that the talks with Snyder never reached the offer
stage.

Synder told a crowd of boosters Wednesday in Winfield that he
was Sebelius' first choice for lieutenant governor after he retired
from coaching in 2005.

But he said he turned Sebelius down after Sen. Pat Roberts and
former Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne advised him against
taking the job.

Sebelius chose Mark Parkinson as her running mate in June 2006.
And Snyder agreed to return to coaching at Kansas State late last
year.
