Early this year, he had nominated her to be U.S. Attorney for Montana, a Presidential appointment. The nomination was later withdrawn, he said, so that they could live together in D.C. There was much tittering in Washington circles (particularly among those opposed to health-care reform) when Reuters broke the news over the weekend.
