Stickler gets stuck

It looks like Richard Stickler's nomination as the new Assistant Secretary of Labor -- MSHA, has hit a wall. Republicans scrapped a vote yesterday on President Bush's pick to head the agency after it became clear he did not have enough support to win Senate approval, according to a report in the Associated Press.. Democrats mostly oppose Stickler's nomination, saying he has failed to demonstrate that safety is his top priority. Many republicans also oppose his nomination, however the ones who support it say that, in addition to managing coal companies, Stickler has worked as a miner and headed Pennsylvania's mine safety agency. We'll see where it goes from here. Your comment?
