Howie P.S.: The bottom line: Todd says Daschle wins if he gets to floor vote. DemFromCT's front-pager on Kos looks at "Tom Daschle, Howard Dean and HHS" and concludes:
Tom Daschle would be an ideal choice for HHS, at least as far as experience,but that's only if he survives this and gets past committee (his errors, particularly regarding the lobbyist blurring, are going to raise tough questions.) And for those same reasons, another wonk with similar policy credentials to Daschle's would need to be a second choice. I'm sure Obama doesn't want to be thinking about second choices, but really, Tom Daschle should not have put the President in this position.
Barack Obama
