And we wonder how he screwed up Florida in 2000:
Is former U.S. Commerce Secretary Bill Daley getting his chopsticks ready?
• • To wit: Sneed hears rumbles Daley may become the next U.S. ambassador to China.
• • The backshot: Daley, who has been eyeing a bid for a U.S. Senate seat in 2010, may be on President Obama’s short list for the ambassador’s post.
• • The upshot: If Daley decides not to run for the Senate, it provides a clearer track for state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, who’s already formed an exploratory committee for the Senate race.
• • Postscript: Sneed also is told Daley is also planning to wed his fiancee, Bernie Keller, some time this spring.
It’s true, Bill Daley is the candidate of change. Changing his mind several times during a day.
