Impressive. You found jobs for both Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham.
Also, why would Nelson accept the any cabinet nomination, knowing Republicans are going to pick up his Senate seat in a special election?
Well the Senate will stay in Democratic control (Napolitano selects a Democrat to replace McCain), not to mention Ben Nelson would be retiring in 2012 regardless.
Not true, Arizona law says that the governor must appoint a senator who is in the same party of the senator they are replacing.
