Republicans FAIL again. Excellent.

[Avalux]

Gregg was picked by the Obama Adminstration in the spirit of bi-partisanship. Obama kept his campaign promise to appoint Republicans if he thought it would be in the best interest of the country. It's not phony; I firmly believe Obama is about finding solutions and doesn't care who has them. He is not partisan.

Judd Gregg (whether he was approached or initiated it himself), was given the chance to join the Obama Administration and work with them to come up with solutions for this country. Instead of taking the position however, Gregg caved to peer pressure and made up some lame excuse that he couldn't reconcile his ideology with the Obama Adminstration.

Gregg's withdrawal proves to the country - again - that Republicans are unyeilding and uncompromising; clinging to their failures. Why wouldn't a Republican want to join a Democratic president who is clearly not partisan and will listen to differing opinions? Why give up the chance to perhaps have an influence on policy?

So Judd Gregg took his ball and went home. Republicans continue to show their asses. They continue to cling to a sinking ship.

1. Fine - he still resigned as a Senator?

Means he'll have noplace to go but prison for the Abramoff scandals....

[AlinPA]

2. He did not resign- he always prefaced his statements with "if I am confirmed".

He will run for re-election as well - despite what he said.

3. And he'll lose badly.... VERY badly...

And Lynch will get an asskicking in the primaries and replaced with a progressive Democrat.

What happens to the Repug woman the Dem gov. of NH replaced Judd with? Oh, I guess they'll just throw her back on the junk heap.
