Chicago billionaire Penny Pritzker has told Barack Obama's team she does not want to serve as Commerce Secretary, said a senior Obama official.

"Penny Pritzker ultimately has decided she does not want to do the Commerce thing," the senior official said.

The official also said reports that Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano will be Secretary of Homeland Security are premature.

"I expect Napolitano will end up in the cabinet. But whether she ends up where the speculation is (has her), I don't know," the official said.

5. Indeed!

I wish the media squawkers would stuff a sock in it until Obama makes an announcement. It's beyond ridiculous.

3. and people ask me why I call them the Whore Media?

Shit, now I'm wondering if even Daschle or Holder were actually picked, or just speculation.

4. It's speculation. There have been no official announcements from the Obama camp and the vetting

process is still ongoing. Don't forget, Daschle's wife is a lobbyist dealing with the health industry so there are probably some issues to work out there.
