Theodore Sedgwick has been nominated to be the United States ambassador to Slovakia. It's a position he paid dearly for. He raised $28,000 for 2008 Democratic candidates, $200,000 for Obama's campaign, and $10,000 for Obama's inauguration. Sedgwick is also an avid hunter and made waves trying to present Obama as friendly to sportsmen -- the people who cling to guns.
Sedgwick lives in Virginia, but originally hails from Chicago and his connections with Obama go way back. In other words, he's just another crony.
