I really don't know quite what to make of this breaking news story

Gregg withdraws as commerce secretary nominee

but it certainly does not paint New England Republicans in a good light (good thing I was born in Brooklyn, ;) )

I also don;t know where this leaves us for the 2010 election in NH. Will Gregg return as a candidate, or an embarassed lame duck?

And I'm also not sure who look worse after all is said and done--Obama's incompetent vetters or Mitch McConnell's inept management of the senate minority? One hopes for the Republic's sake it will be the former, but who knows?

 "We need a robust [stimulus package]. I think the one that's pending is in the range we need. I do believe it's a good idea to do it at two levels, which this bill basically does, which is immediate stimulus and long-term initiatives which actually improve our competitiveness and our productivity"  And wouldn't you know it this came from the mouth of none other than Judd Gregg.   When he abstained from voting on the stimulus bill it should've  been clear that we were swimming in an ocean of inside party BS.

This guy got more respect than a "bipartisan" Republican

Go to fullsize image Really, Obama hires the biggest political hack in recent Chicago history to run his White House and Republicans are shocked when they are used as footstools? Please .
