Drug Czar Ramstad?

Now that the State and Treasury department picks have been officially unveiled, the parlor game of Obama cabinet speculation turns to the less high-profile posts — the people no one hears much about unless it turns up that they’re harboring illegal immigrants in their garage. Almost since election day, retiring Rep. Jim Ramstad’s name has been rumored to be in the mix for Drug Czar (more formally known as the head of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy). Politico first floated the rumor in mid-November, but today the Christian Science Monitor keeps the speculation alive in an editorial that mentions Ramstad and calls for a greater emphasis on drug treatment.
