This is a potentially important story, at least to my future career in prognostication.

CNN.com - Officials: Ridge to announce resignation

This story mentions a number of possible successors to Tom Ridge as Secretary of Homeland Security, but Tommy Thompson isn't among them. A column in the Wisconsin State Journal suggested strongly that Thompson is, in fact, in the running for that post.

I wonder what the difference is, here. Could the WSJ be guilty of a little rooting for the home-town boy? Or is it just a case of different reporters having different sources who may or may not be telling the truth?
