So funny you should ask about John, I was on the phone with him when the news broke. He's okay with the decision but had other preferences (delauro being one). He got over it pretty quickly and was already figuring out which former Daschle staffers he can reach out to.
You had to figure that Daschle would get some sort of plum position. He's been a backer from day one. Hopefully, he'll be a better cabinet secretary than he was a majority leader.
i also just read that obama is going to work with the hhs secretary to write his health care proposal (as opposed to WH staffers) so maybe that made it seem more appealing.
i know daschle was an advisor very early on to obama so maybe he just wanted someone he could trust.
