Well, That Didn't Take Long...
First Cabinet-nominee dropout.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is out as Commerce Secretary. "Withdraws" amid a federal investigation of his ties to a California company that won municipal bond contracts in New Mexico. Looks like 2008's Year of Democratic Corruption -- after the GOP cleaned up in the previous couple of years -- will roll over into '09.
As for Obama's "team of rivals"? Maybe not so much.
