(NARR:)
The news came while Bush was meeting with Sen. John Breaux -- a
centrist Democrat known for being a congressional "deal maker."
He had been widely rumored to be on the Governor's short list for
Energy Secretary -- an attractive offer, but not attractive enough.
(SOT/GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT ELECT 3:08:45)
"One of the things the Senator made clear is he wants to stay in the
Senate and work with -- to work to get something done."
(NARR:)
It may be a familiar refrain. The 50-50 split in the Senate, is
making it difficult for ranking Democrats LIKE BREAUX to give up their
seats -- and with them the balance of power.
But it's not the only problem. Despite the Governor's call for
bi-partisansihp -- many right-wing Republicans are urging him to save
some of the most powerful cabinet positions to staunch conservatives.
But GOP Governor John Engler, who met with the Dick Cheney this
morning says it's not LABELS the Bush team is looking for, it's
EXPERIENCE.
(SOT/ GOV. JOHN ENGLER, MICHIGAN 11:56:35)
"I think whether you are conservative moderate or liberal, if you are a
