With a vote of 89-2. Who were the 2 nays? Jim Bunning (R-KY), and Roger Wicker (R-MS).
Bunning has a seat on Energy and Natural Resources, the committee of jurisdiction over Interior and thus the committee of vetting for Strickland’s nomination. As far as I can tell, Bunning didn’t attend the confirmation hearing. But Wicker (freshman) does not sit on ENR, and there’s no obvious public record that has him voicing opposition. The only thing I can come up with is Bunning and Wicker opposing anybody/everybody on abortion grounds no matter how far removed abortion is from their job responsibilities.
And this probably doesn’t help.

Maybe someone will give a shit about Tom if they think Kenny has a shot at the bump to the 3rd leg of government.
Politically I think its too early for Kenny to be bumped up, but I’d support it over 97.3% of other likely Obama’s choices.
Any bets on The Stash getting a reciprocal bump to SECINT? And would Mark Udall be secretly jealous?
I don’t believe anyone ever called him Kenny, but you sound so familiar with him.
It’s virtually inconceivable Strickland would “get a reciprocal bump” to secretary of Interior, though you’re right, Udall would probably be jealous if it happened.
but i could be wrong
Logically 4 – 5 of the members should be female on average. We have a loooong way to go on that.
