President-elect Barack Obama has nominated Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) as Secretary of the Interior, and Salazar is poised to accept -- so sayeth multiple un-named sources. Frankly, I find un-named sources irritating. The Interior Department has been particularly industry-friendly (and scandalized) under the Bush Administration. Perhaps Sen. Salazar can do something about that.
As Education Secretary, Obama will nominate Chicago School Superintendent Arne Duncan (again, it's from unnamed sources). Obama and Duncan reportedly are friends. I have no comments, but Memeorandum does.
