Sabelius would be a great choice but she would make an excellent candidate for Senate. As for Ted Strickland, let's toss that one out--he needs to run for re-election in 2010 and Lee Fisher is the state's strongest Senate candidate. Let's get real here.

The White House anounced that they have taken the 2010 census from the Commerce Department and put it straight under White House's (Rahm Emanuel's) supervision. As such, Gregg will have absolutely no say in such a critical function that technically is under his authority.

Has he withdrawn from the health czar position as well as HHS? If so, will the new HHS Secretary also be the new health czar and if not is there anyone in line for the health czar job?
