I don’t quite get what you’re getting at. “…is it just the affiliations of lefty politicians that don’t matter, or are you going to graciously extend that immunity to politicians of a more conservative bent?”

This position is for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A medical doctor was picked. I know nothing of his affiliation (-yes, he is probably a dem), but i wouldn’t want a conservative from a defense oriented think tank to head that department. That said, Obama’s Defense Secretary isn’t what I’d call a liberal. I’d expect that department head to be a man acquainted with the pentagon, no matter what his political stripe. I hope I didn’t disappoint you.
