2004 Presidential Transition President Bush appointed Claude A. Allen as his domestic policy advisor Wednesday. From the article, "Allen, deputy Health and Human Services secretary since 2001, joins the president's senior staff as assistant to the president a little more than a year after Senate Democrats blocked his nomination to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, in part over a controversial remark he made about gays. Allen replaces Margaret Spellings, who has been nominated to be secretary of Education. " Thanks to Kicking Ass for the link. Western Democrat: "Give me a candidate in boots and jeans, a candidate who speaks plain English, a candidate who can connect with real Americans... and I'll show you a candidate who not only wins the West, but in West Virginia, Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, and even Virginia." 7:33:55 AM
