Who to get mad at?

Tom Daschle withdraws as a candidate for HHS secretary. Obama's plans to change health care take a hit. But who can the left get mad at?
Republicans couldn't have stopped the nomination. They didn't force Daschle to take the extra benefits without thinking of paying for them. They didn't distract him so he couldn't deal with the unpaid taxes until it was too late.
The left sure can't blame Obama. Is blaming Daschle piling on? Can you blame Timothy Geithner for sliding through as Treasury nominee and making the ground too slippery for Daschle?
You can't blame Rush Limbaugh. He's on vacation this week.
