Looks like South Dakota’s own Tom Daschle will lead off the Obama cabinet confirmation parade with a hearing before the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Thursday morning.

The hearing is set to start at 8 a.m. Mountain/Hoghouse time, 9 a.m. Central time. I’ll be tuning into C-SPAN with high hopes they’ll carry the hearing live.

Here’s the rest of the Reuters rundown of confirmation hearings.

Being first should be viewed as a good sign, right? I see it as a signal that Team Obama wants to get off at least a few painless hearings before some of the more strained confirmations hit the stage. Does anyone know of any opposition awaiting Daschle on Capitol Hill?
