Today marks the start of the sixth week of Fordham's pick-the-next-secretary-of-education daily tracking poll. It appears that President-Elect Obama is going to name every position down to national dog-catcher before he announces his selection to lead the Department of Education. Patience is a virtue and Obama is giving us a chance to practice it.
Not much changed over the weekend; it still looks like a two-way race between Arne Duncan and Michael Bennet, with Duncan still in the driver's seat. (Hedge fund guy/school reformer Whitney Tilson sent an email over the weekend saying he's heard it's Duncan.)
The announcement is expected this week...stay tuned.
