Why do you think Judd Gregg stepped down?

[ColbertWatcher]

[CLANG]

1. Other:

Fuck the lying bastard.

[tekisui]

2. All of the above.

[Oceansaway]

3. he's a frikin repuke, expect no less...n/t

[Loge23]

4. The census thingy

Obama wants to remove the census from Commerce.
The fascists have got their panties all in a knot over this.

President Obama, I beg you. Please stop trying to make nice with the fascists.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Other: because his party (and the people of NH) didn't like the deal about his replacement.

She was such an obvious Gregg puppet she might as well had strings on her head.

[liberal N proud]

6. Other: He is republican and didn't get what he wanted in the job

He wanted to control the census and Obama didn't leave that in the commerce dept.

Another spoiled cry baby republican.

[monmouth]

7. Yes, the census thing. He wouldn't be able to gerryman counties, etc...n/t

[Juche]

8. 2010

He probably figured he has a better chance of holding the NH senate seat as a GOP seat than a no name replacement.

[backscatter712]

9. The beautiful thing is...

that shit bomb he was hoping to hit Obama with blew up in his face!

[Mike 03]

10. Other: The first, second and third selections combined. NT

[TimesSquareCowboy]

11. Obama kept calling him Winona?

[burythehatchet]

12. 3-pointer

welcome

:toast:

[Emit]

14. lol

good one :thumbsup:

[MrModerate]

13. He couldn't sincerely work for the benefit of all Americans . . .

and remain a Republican. The two are mutually exclusive, and it took him this long to figure that out.

[baldguy]

15. Republicans never do anything FOR the country.

Their loyalties are to 1) their wallet; 2) their corporate masters; 3) the party. Their country & their constituents don't even make the top ten.

[leftchick]

16. It is shocking Obama was suckered into this choice

so much for change.

[liberalmuse]

20. Oh FUCK this shit.

He's a little busy, in case you haven't noticed. With about a thousand things. And he isn't fucking Superman.

[leftchick]

21. I know what you mean

making cabinet choices should always be at the bottom of the list and/or left to right hand man Rahm. :crazy:

Good lord. are there excuses for absolutely everything obama fucks up?

[rurallib]

17. He is a big asshole

I think had he been confirmed he would have been Obama's worst nightmare.

[Jane Austin]

18. Yeah, Obama has shown over and over again

that he always gets out-maneuvered by mediocre Republicans.

Yeah. I keep forgetting that Obama isn't all that bright.

:sarcasm:

[liberalmuse]

19. Because is is one of the hive.

And how about the way the classless piece of shit bowed out? Never, EVER trust a 'puke. They'd rape their mother and lie about it to get a buck.

[Ian David]

22. To spend more time with his mistress... I mean with his family. n/t

[4 t 4]

23. Other, he's got a secret

only time will tell. I don't care if it's someone talked him out of it because he doesn't care for helping people and his heart isn't in it or because he kills little animals-he's got a secret period. Maybe some day we will find out.

[stillcool]

24. they want to pick a couple of Dems..

off of the Senate and filibuster!!
edit to add: I didn't realize that the filibuster is no longer a threat. I guess he was taking some kind of heat that was too much for him.

[DeepBlueC]

25. I think Tweety had a good point

He watched as several senators outside the administration had critical influence on the stimulus bill while he was out of the loop on the inside. Stripping the census from his department really made his position clear. I'm glad he's gone.

[MiniMe]

26. Other - his aide was caught in the Abramhoff scandal

[ColbertWatcher]

27. That news came out after I posted the poll!

I think this may have been the reason, but I doubt anyone will admit it.
