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.
Great choice for either, I doubt he can do much damage as Sec of Ag. Plus, more potential good news, rumours are that our Rep Herseth is contemplating switching parties. That rumour doen't come from the media, that rumour comes from mutual aquaintances.
voter fraud = banking fraud later
