Cabinet post ahead?

Nev. Gov. Jim Gibbons, a Republican, has hied off to Iraq, to visit Nevada's soldiers, leaving his eventually ex-wife in command of the Governor's Mansion.

Gibbons has plenty of war experience, courtesy of Vietnam and the Gulf War, and his predecessor, Kenny Guinn, also a Republican, visited Iraq in 2006 with other governors.

What's different this time? A presidential election in progress.

Secretary of Defense Jim Gibbons. How does that sound?
