implying that Obama supporters - Daschle, Richardson, Caroline Kennedy are dropping like flies - and the people getting easy acceptance are the Clinton people - the confirmation of HRC was easy and no one was interested in the concern that Lugar politely raised that oversight on Bill's donations would be only after the fact as much as a year later in spite of the fact that the entire committee agreed to that concern. On the economic side, Summers, who might have had a problem was given a position for which confirmation was not needed and Geitner was pushed through - even though it was harder to see his tax problem as unwitting than Daschle's. If I were paranoid, I would believe that the powers that be co-opted Obama and won't let him implement any real change. (In reality, I think that everyone read what they wanted into Obama's rather vague inspirational words. I always though that he, like the Clintons, was to the right of where John Kerry was - and Kerry is not to the extreme left even of Senate Democrats. The nominations have been a little to the right of what I expected, but his statement on torture was stronger than I had hoped for.)
