Alabama Rep. To Join New Administration?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama is being vetted
for an undisclosed position in president-elect Barack Obama's
administration.
But Davis, a three-term Democrat from Birmingham, has said
repeatedly that he does not expect to work in the administration.
He is now acknowledging that Obama's transition team approached
him several weeks ago and asked if he would undergo a background
check. Davis' office declined to name the position being considered
and said he still does not expect to be selected.
Davis, who attended Harvard Law School with Obama, was mentioned
early as a candidate for attorney general. Obama has since picked
Eric Holder for that post, although the nomination could still run
into opposition.
Obama has yet to select several other Cabinet positions,
including for education, labor and housing.
