So now that Daschle may be out

[AllentownJake]

Calling Dr. Dean?

[SharonRB]

1. Huh?

What'd I miss?

5. Daschle hadn't declared income on a Caddy & driver provided by someone else.

To the tune of $100K for 3 years. He has now paid the back taxes, so his nom will now probly fly. I wouldn't count on him being out of it.

8. Yeah, the rules are different for the rest of us.

*sigh* I'm so fucking sick of this shit. If I don't dot my "i"s and cross my "t"s, I'm in big trouble, and I've got to pay up or else.

But members of the RULING CLASS get to fuck up all over the place.

I do not intend to ever forget Daschle standing next to bush* in the Rose Garden, as bush* signed the IWR. Daschle can take a flying fuck. Obama can take a flying fuck for attempting to give that asshat any kind of place at the table again.

When is this hell ever going to end?

14. Some things don't change just because we got a Dem in office.

19. I've got your back I'm sick and tired of this bs

[ananda]

2. Oh please God!

Make it Howard Dean!

[scarletwoman]

3. Please elaborate. (nt)

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. WTF!

[TheDebbieDee]

6. I agree. Dr. Dean should have been first choice, as far as I'm concerned!

[phillysuse]

7. Paging Dr Dean to the Emergency Room

The United States health care system is coding - it's in ventricular fibrillation and needs your steady hand to shock it back.

9. Daschle's safe

if Geithner can pass muster, then Tommy's going to sail through the Senate.

But Howard Dean was certainly the right person for the job. Hell, he should have at least been considered for Surgeon General over some TV hack!

11. Is this the change we can believe in?

A bunch of tax cheats working for Obama?

10. BS

This is nothing. Daschle's still in.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. He's not out (thankfully). Let's move on and get universal health care passed.

[SKKY]

13. That would have been my first choice actually.

His stock is sky-high right now.

[RedEmpress]

16. I think Daschle will be confirmed

I haven't heard anything about him being denied the spot. I think he will still get it.

[Sebastian Doyle]

17. YEEEEEEEARRRRRRGH!!!!

time for the Doctor to step in and save Health Care, just as he saved the Democratic Party.

[book_worm]

18. he's not out. His former collegues will confirm him. They confirmed the Treasury Sec

who also had a tax problem.

[Autumn]

20. From your mouth to Gods ear,

we don't need Daschle, we need Dean.

[nomaco-10]

21. Should have been the nominee in the first place.....

but it ain't happening unfortunately. Dean deserved a plum nomination, but I guess we'll all have to speculate why it didn't happen, much like the Caroline Kennedy senate seat derailment.

[JI7]

22. even if Daschle is out, they are probably not going to pick Dean
