<br />
As a transit supporter, my heart sank a bit when I learned of the LaHood choice. Actually, I hadn't heard of the guy until this. But I'll reserve judgment.

      <![CDATA[Highway, bridge, and rail infrastructure improvements and repair are not only a high priority because of years of neglect but are also seen as a way to improve the economy by creating jobs. Making the position of secretary bipartisan is a savvy move. There will have to be a lot of negotiation for anything to move forward. Nothing smells of pork so much as road and bridge building.

He's there to deflect, in my opinion. Not for the long run.

      <![CDATA[While Obama's pick or Secretary of Transportation is important, it's more important to make sure that there is money for trains and transit infrastructure. A truly national rail system is needed and affordable -- see <a href="http://www.growtrains.org/">http://www.growtrains.org/</a>

      <![CDATA[Very interesting. LaHood used to be my rep when I lived in Illinois, and he is slick and well-connected. Most notable is his allegiance to Peoria's largest (? not so sure anymore if it is) employer, Caterpillar.<br />
<br />
Obama might have also made this pick to further remove himself from the Illinois-Democrat-Blagojevich scandal by saying, "Look, I picked a downstate Republican for my cabinet."<br />
<br />
Oh, well. It's not as if he picked a homophobic pastor to give the invocation at the inaugural or something. :)

      <![CDATA[The current bush transportation department is filled with Privitization advocates.  This is a change from that and also helps balance the perception of the democratic party. by having a republican push for socialized infrastructure it is one less thing that can be called a liberal agenda.
