Sebelius on short list for Kerry's vice president
John Edwards offers boyish good looks and a trial lawyer's verbal skills. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is a heartland governor whose gender is another factor. And William Cohen provides political balance: He's a Republican.
They're part of a talented field
talked up as entries in the John Kerry running-mate sweep-stakes, each with something to bring to the Democratic presidential ticket. Although many Democrats want Kerry to name a running mate soon, he doesn't appear to be in any hurry.
Kerry's selection process is unlikely to yield a decision for weeks. There are no assurances he will choose before the nominating convention in late July.

Kansas to get less funds for low-income students
WASHINGTON—Eleven states, including Kansas, will get less federal money for poor students next school year, while the 39 other states and the District of Columbia will get more, new figures show.
Under law, the Education Department is supposed to use the most current, reliable population data available in determining how to distribute more than $12 billion.
The dollar changes come about for two reasons: the use of new estimates of where poor students live, and overall
spending increases in the federal aid program known as Title I.
So the agency has plugged in census data released last year, reflecting family incomes in 2000.
Poll: Support eroding for Bush, Iraq war
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Public approval of President Bush's handling of Iraq has slipped to a new low — alongside his overall job rating — after last week's grisly deaths of four contractors in Fallujah, a poll says.
Still, a majority supports his decision to use military force in Iraq, says the poll released yes-
Four in 10, or 40 percent, approve of the way Bush is handling Iraq, while 53 percent disapprove. That's down from six in 10 who approved in mid-January, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Bush's overall job approval is at 43 percent, and 47 percent disapproved of Bush's job performance.
