True, Arne Duncan's lead seems to have quieted other bids for the top spot, but the race is not over yet. Linda Darling-Hammond is army crawling her way to the top with her eyes set on Kathleen Sebelius. Joel Klein and Colin Powell are holding steady.
But wait! Who is that in the back of the pack? She's running, on and on, it seems. It's...Oprah?
Yes - it's Oprah Winfrey, whose name has recently been added to the list. Surprised? So were we, but it looks like the folks at Edweek.org saw it coming.
Other new names? Ray Mabus and Tom Kean.
