A Nebraska business executive withdrew from consideration to be President Bush's point man on manufacturing Thursday after Sen. John Kerry raised questions about his stance on shifting U.S. jobs to foreign countries.

The Bush administration said Anthony Raimondo's withdrawal was related to Nebraska political issues and not the flap raised by the Kerry campaign.

Raimondo's nomination had appeared in doubt since Kerry raised questions Wednesday. Commerce Secretary Don Evans had refused to answer questions about whether Raimondo, the chief executive of Behlen Manufacturing Co., in Columbus, Neb., was still being considered for the position, saying only that the administration was "continuing to look at candidates."

1. Rookie mistake!

Can't believe after three years they weren't able to vett their nominee to avoid embarrassment.

Feckless boobs!
