Once nomination formally made, when was last time a cabinet secty failed to win confirmation? Tower? (And I'm not counting UN ambassador)

@jonathanweisman It would have been hard for the admin to contend with 2 nominees with tax problems so Daschle withdrew
.@carenbohan I still think if Daschle's tax probs emerged 1st, he would've gotten thru, Geithner wouldve withdrawn. Geithner's much worse.

@jonathanweisman@carenbohan Geithner's expertise in financial crisis may have exceeded Daschle's cachet no matter -
@Goldfarb@jonathanweisman Definitely. But health reform push might have gone more smoothly if Daschle had survived confirmation battle

@jonathanweisman@carenbohan No one was worse than Daschle. He said one thing to his people at home, then did the opposite in DC.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
