Mr. Sandoval goes to DC, will meet with Cabinet folks, delegation members

Gov.-elect Brian Sandoval leaves tonight for Washington, DC, where he will have meetings starting Wednesday at the White House, with various Cabinet secretaries and with embattled Sen. John Ensign. The meeting at the White House is expected to include President Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Sandoval is scheduled to return Friday.

Among others the incoming governor is slated to meet with:

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (wonder if they will talk of his affinity for repealing health care reform, or his need for that Medicaid money?)

FL Governor Jeb Bush (Sandoval has embraced many of his education reform ideas)

Education Secretary Arne Duncan (education reform?)

Senator John Ensign (Brian, will you help me?)

Congressman Dean Heller (Brian, why did you go see Ensign?)

Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (Brian, will you not help Ensign?)

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan (So about those neighborhood assistance grants....)

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar(Any chance Pat Mulroy can have your job?)

Former Sen. Paul Laxalt (Any wise words from the wise warrior?)
