Tom Daschle has withdrawn his nomination as Secretary of HHS. According to salon.com:
MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell says she spoke by phone with Daschle, and that he said, "I read the New York Times this morning and I realized that I can't pass healthcare if I am too much of a distraction. And when I saw what the Republicans were saying and read the New York Times, I called the president."
Maybe so, but an ad from his last South Dakota Senate campaign has recently popped up, and that can't have helped.
