The MSM is reporting that Obama will nominate Sen. Gregg for Commerce

[OmahaBlueDog]

Does this mean

a) They made a deal that the NH Governor won't nominate a Dem (which would be dumb)?
b) That if the NH Governor nominates a Dem, Traitor Joe will officially go red (my guess)?
c) The Republicans don't think this will matter because they believe Coleman will win his lawsuit?

1. I just do not get this.

3. I think the theory is easy enough to understand

In theory, you appear bi-partisan while, in practice, making it much easier to get work done in the Senate.

In practice, if he wanted 60 votes so badly, he should have dragged his (admittedly exhausted) butt down to Hotlanta and campaigned like Hell, in person for Jim Martin.

..with this one.

4. I heard it's (a) what a crock...make it 60 and pass everything they can. Since when was the last

time the dems had 60...they need to do it but they won't. Which makes me mad. They will put in a Repug till 2010...dumb

5. I heard (A) as well, and if true, we are idiots

I don't wish anything bad on Arlen Specter (for example), but if he can't serve, I expect Rendell to replace him with a Democrat...not to give the job to Lynn Swann as a goodwill gesture.

Gregg shouldn't take the job if he doesn't want a Democratic supermajority. It's that simple.

6. If the governor made a deal for a senate appointment the US attorney for NH will arrest him right?

7. I get it and it's sickening . . .
