Republicans had a Rep. Gov. in the primaries. What was his name, former Amb. to China. Good looking daughters. Nice family. Not real right wingish. I liked that guy. What was his name? Dems and Independents could have voted for that guy. But he got run off. What was his name?

Well, I think Obama nominated him because he's retiring and Landrieu gets a leg up (woman joke) by getting his chairmanship on energy or something.

But, the fact is, at least what I heard on NPR some weeks back, is the Chinese like the guy, becuase they have no concept of how our two party govt functions (assuming it still does) to resolve issues, and there seemed to be some notion that the appt would help them understand us, which is pretty much the basic reason to have an ambassador.

Not that Obama hasn't made appts based on donations, as have all other potus's. It isn't this guy, though.
