Bush To Nominate Democrat Ben Nelson to Agriculture?

Because Zell votes with the President on everything. There’s no advantage to be gained by taking him out of the Senate.

His Defense Secretary William Cohen is a Republican.

If he’s going to put a Democrat as Ag secretary, I wish he’d put in the outgoing congressman from my district, Charles Stenholm, a twenty six year conservative democrat and senior member of the House Agricultrual Committee. Charlie got the shaft in DeLays’ Texas redistricting and lost his seat to a Republican freshman, Randy Neugebauer. I was far more upset about losing my congressman that I was about the Presidential election.

Is Secretary of Agriculture even a good job if you’re already a Senator?

I think that sometimes they actually do pick a guy who is right for a certain job. No matter what is political affilliation is believed to be like. They all kind of l seem to like that Greenspan guy . . .
