Congratulations Governor Vilsak

From the NY Times Politics Blog.

President-elect Barack Obama has settled on Tom Vilsack, a former governor of Iowa, as his Agriculture Secretary. The announcement will be made here on Wednesday morning, according to Democrats familiar with the decision, as Mr. Obama works to round out his Cabinet nominations this week. {...}
Mr. Vilsack, during his time as governor, sought to make Iowa the food capital of the world. A strong proponent of ethanol and wind energy, Mr. Vilsack traveled the world in search of new markets and opportunities for American products.


Mr. Vilsak was a good Governor (unlike the current one) and I congratulate him. He will do a good job.
