Gov. Jim Doyle has spoken with the transition team for President-elect Obama, but Doyle announced Monday the conversation was not about a possible cabinet position.
Because he was an early supporter of Obama and was active in campaign efforts for him, speculation arose that Doyle might be offered a post in the Obama administration, especially after knowledge of communication between Doyle and the transition team became public.
Doyle spokesperson Lee Sensenbrenner told the Associated Press he does not know what the dialogue between Doyle and the transition team was about, but Doyle continues to emphasize he wishes to remain governor of Wisconsin.
The job he really feels the strongest about is being governor of the state of Wisconsin,"" Sensenbrenner said in an interview Friday.
Doyle has not yet announced if he is running for re-election as governor, a race that will be decided in 2010.
