Any comments on how long it will be before Daschle receive a lucrative
government job that does not have to receive congressional review?


Over/under?

Two weeks.


Daschle is done, but it does make an opening for Howard Dean.


Dean really should have been first choice for that position. I
understand why Obama chose Daschle, but it was a bad move from the
start. I wouldn't blameDean if he was not interested in being "sloppy
seconds", but I have a feeling that if asked, his sense of duty to
country would override his personal feelings.
