I think he should offer it to Senator Tim Johnson(D), so that Governor Rounds can appoint Larry Diedrich to the Senate. Getting rid of two rat Senators in SD in a matter of weeks would be too much to ask?
Hmmm...
Tim Johnson would be a good choice for Comptroller of the Currency too. He has been great for the banking industry and does not get along with Paul Sarbanes, who is ranking Democrat on the Banking Committee. He was reeelected in 2002, but will probably have a tough race in 2008, since he only beat John Thune through vote fraud in 2002.
