Can't say this makes me feel any better.  Our state Ag representative is pushing NAIS like it's the best thing since sliced bred.  I don't trust any of these overinflated egomaniacs.

President-elect Barack Obama has chosen former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack as his
agriculture secretary, bringing a farm state leader to the agency,
according to two Democratic officials.

The announcement is expected to be made Wednesday in Chicago.

Mr. Vilsack, 56 years old, sought the Democratic presidential nomination
himself but dropped out early on. He endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for the
Democratic nomination and campaigned for her until she lost to Mr. Obama.

He served as governor from 1998 to 2006, the first Democrat elected to the
job in 32 years. He honed a reputation as a political centrist, focusing on
education and health care issues. Like many other farm state politicians,
he supports various federal policies that promote use of ethanol.
