Cain before Senate

This isn't exactly a state item, but:

Jim Cain, President Bush's pick for U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, is scheduled to go before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington on Monday.

Cain is an attorney and partner with the Kilpatrick and Stockton law firm, but chances re you know his name for one of two reasons:

  • You're a hockey fan. Cain is the former president of the Carolina Hurricanes Hockey Team.

  • You're a politics fan. Cain is a mover and shaker in the state Republican party, raising gobs of campaign money for, among other, President Bush.

    Such hearings are a preliminary step before someone's nomination is confirmed (or not) by the whole Senate.
