VA's Nicholson: Seeing a Senatorial Future?

Does Veterans Affairs Secretary James Nicholson have his eye on bigger and better things? His spokeswoman says he's "intrigued" by Colorado's 2008 Senate race, Rocky Mountain News columnist Peter Blake reports today. Nicholson does have some experience in Colorado politics, and was head of the Republican National Committee before joining the Bush administration. Of course, he'd have to give up his job running the largest non-defense bureaucracy to throw his hat into the ring. (Thanks to K.R. for the tip.)
