Sen. Gregg
Sen. Judd Gregg (R NH) just pulled his name out of nomination for Commerce Secretary. So much for the big bipartisan effort by the Obama Administration.
One would hate to think that Sen. Gregg played out this string to deliver the maximum screwing to the new Democratic Adminstration. You would hate to believe it, so I suspect it is true.
Between the stimulus and this, we have twice seen the President extend a hand only to see the GOP raise a middle finger and try to turn it to political advantage. Hopefully someone in the the Oval is getting the picture. (One, of course, remembers another Democratic president who came to office confident in his ability to reach consensus, forge deals, run to the center and be all bipartisan. The Republican Congress tried to impeach him.)
