Looks like Tom Daschle decided it wasn't worth the trouble and he withdrew his nomination to be Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary.
Overall he's a nice guy, but HHS needs more than just a nice guy to fix America's health and welfare systems especially in these times. His tax problems didn't help but his incest with the health care lobby was a much bigger issue.

There's a big push on for Obama to put in Howard Dean, and that would be a good move; he's a doctor AND an ass-kicker. Daschle is too much of a wimp. Plus, no medical know-how. I'd say being an MD is an asset to anyone being considered for the position. Maybe it should be a requirement, although there are plenty of bad MDs around in the States, too. Like that one--I think his name was Hager--who used to rape his own wife.
