You can be pretty sure that Obama will not recruit anyone from the Senate unless (1) the governor of the state from which the senator comes is a Democrat who will appoint a Democrat to finish the term and (2) the state from which the senator comes is a state that typically elects Democrats. Same for anyone from the House of Representatives.
But am I forgetting someone? Has there been a senator named for a cabinet position other than Clinton? (Not counting Biden, of course.)

Dachelle, I think, or however you spell it. I thought I read something about him being maybe Atorney General or Sec. of Commerence or something.
