Gregg to work for Obama?

by Skip

From NRO (H/T: assist from @Robeno on Twitter):

Roll Call reports that President Obama is considering Sen. Judd Gregg (R., N.H.) for Commerce Secretary. The story ends with this uncharacteristic error:

The governor of New Hampshire is a Republican who would have the ability to name Gregg’s replacement. Gregg is up for re-election in 2010 and Democrats were likely to target him anyway, but his departure would undoubtedly turn the seat into a better pickup opportunity for the majority.

Unless Gov. John Lynch has switched parties, he’s still a Democrat. This could be President Obama’s attempt to purchase a filibuster-proof Senate majority.

That would make the filibuster go away, wouldn’t it.  Betcha Dems ALL over are salivating over that!

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    Now if I were in Obama’s shoes I’d appoint Gregg, let Lynch name a Dem to take his Senate seat and then fire him and replace him with someone competent. MK
