http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/0..._n_162378.htmlThere is a strong possibility that Barack Obama will ask Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) to serve as his Secretary of Commerce, Democratic Senate aides tell the Huffington Post.
The move would fill a vacancy that has lingered since Gov. Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination. And provided that Al Franken emerges victorious in the Minnesota recount, it would give Democrats in the Senate a 60th caucusing member, as New Hampshire's Democratic governor John Lynch would appoint Gregg's replacement.
So, does this make Judd a traitor to the GOP? Which gives more power, being in the Cabinet, or controlling the ability to filibuster? I'm guessing its a net loss for the GOP for 2 years if he accepts.
