Speaking of the Senate, Scott Kleeb won the primary in Nebraska tonight as the netroots candidate against some asshole that Ben Nelson was pushing.

I like our chances on that one with Hagel leaving. If Hagel decides to take the dive and support Obama and Kleeb, we'll be in great shape there. I'd even consider Secretary of State, or something like it (so long as it's not SecDef), as a good reward for ol' Chuck.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 0)

why not SecDef? (not really thrilled about either, I'd like Rice, Powers, or Lake in the State and NSA positions, haven't really thought about Defense)

Don't want a Republican at SecDef, because we have qualified people, and it would reinforce the "Republicans = Defense" thing.
