CNN is reporting that the job of Secretary of Agriculture has been offered to Democratic Senator Bob Nelson of Nebraska. This would be the second Democrat to join uber-Republican George W. Bush's cabinet after Treasury Secretary Norm Mineta. Obviously, a move to show the fact that the president can embrace a spirit of bipartisanship, right? A reaching out, across the aisle, for the betterment of the nation, right? Well, maybe so, or maybe not. Senator Nelson's seat is in a state with a Republican governor. So if he left to become Mr. Top Aggy, the Senate split would suddenly have 56 republican senators which would put them a lot closer to the 60-person filibuster-proof majority.
