Democratic sources are telling the Denver Post that Barack Obama is going to name Colorado Senator Ken Salazar as his secretary of the Department of the Interior. This makes four Hispanic nominees - two to the cabinet - so far, and as we know there are groups keeping score.

The Salazar confirmation is subject to him passing a background check; one wonders if that's why Raul Grijalva wasn't selected or whether it has something to do with qualifications or something.

UPDATE: I removed the question mark in the title since the choice is official. I also added the following heartwarming image.
