Sunday, January 01, 2006CW: Potts to Join Kaine Administration?Poli Amateur over at Commonwealth Watch has confirmed a rumor that I have heard: that Russ Potts might be joining the Kaine administration. What bothers me about this is that it also confirms the other rumor we have been hearing in the 17th Senate District -- that Edd Houck is being considered for not just one, but two possible positions under Tim Kaine. At first glance, you think "Why two positions? Edd would be a natural choice for Secretary of Education?" But if you can peel off Russ Potts and make your administration look more balanced (though with Potts, imbalanced might be more appropriate), you certainly drive the wedge between moderate and conservative Republicans all the more... which is certainly a viable Democratic strategy. This would of course contradict the rumor-mill over at NLS that Edd will not be leaving the 17th. From what I have heard, (1) Edd has been telling those who have been asking that he is not going to become Secretary of Education, yet (2) the Democrats seem to be hunting for a successor. Could 15 January be the day that Potts and Houck resign? Dunno... it certainly wouldn't hurt Chichester, and it would certainly become an excellent guiding post for those elected officials who appreciate sticking their finger in the wind before they vote up or down on tax hikes. Idle speculation at the moment, but we'll see.
