: TalkLeftNH Sen Gregg To Commerce? The Replacement Game
By Big Tent Democrat
The rumors are becoming strong that Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) will be the next Secretary of Commerce. The really interesting part of this story is who would replace Gregg. May I suggest that in our post-partisan unity schtick world, a caretaker appointment of Warrent Rudman, as rumored here, would be a brilliant post partisan unity schtick choice.
Rudman would be the equivalent of a vote for cloture on just about every piece of legislation (which means he is part of that whole "60 votes" thing). Heck, you could get his vote a few times to boot. He'll spend two years wailing about "entitlements," but Broder & Co. will love having Rudman around to define "the Center." But the thing is he would be a caretaker (no reelection run for him), so who really cares? This is supposed to be the type of 11 dimensional chess we have been promised that Obama will deliver -- meaningless "reachout" that does not compromise a progressive agenda. We'll see if it is what we get.
Speaking for me only
