All this week, Women for Obama members in Iowa will be joining together for special events with elected officials, influential leaders, and other supporters to talk about the upcoming election and the important work that must be done to ensure that Democrats are elected up and down the ballot come November. Today in Iowa City, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius held several events to talk about the importance of this election, and how critical it is that Barack becomes our next president.

Kansas governor touts Obama's credentials Shawn Gude - The Daily Iowan Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius stopped by the Iowa City Public Library this morning with one topic in mind: Barack Obama. Speaking to a crowd of over 200, Sebelius linked Republican challenger John McCain's policies with President George W. Bush's unpopularity, while stressing the policy differences between the Illinois senator and McCain. "If, indeed, you feel like you are - as Ronald Reagan said - better off personally than you were eight years ago, that your family is better off than it was eight years ago, your state and country is better off than eight years ago - then John McCain is your guy," Sebelius said to the cheering crowd. "But if we truly believe we need to change direction in this country and embrace a new philosophy … then we need a change," she said. "We don't need somebody who just talks about change. We need a change in direction and a change in policy." Sebelius touted Obama's tax, healthcare, and economic policies as necessary changes, emphasizing the need for a "fair and progressive tax policy," one that aids the middle class, rather than the richest one percent of Americans. The Kansas governor also dismissed the notion that McCain is a party-bucker, citing that the Arizona senator would continue many of Bush's policies. "John McCain the maverick has now become the sidekick," Sebelius said.
