The President Gets Clever

Word is that President Obama is considering Republican Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire to be his Secretary of Commerce.

The governor of New Hampshire is John Lynch--a Democrat with a 69 percent approval rating.

A reminder: Democrats currently have 59 seats in the Senate--or at least they will once the courts in Minnesota dispense with Norm Coleman's silly lawsuits that are keeping Senator-Elect Franken from taking his seat.

Another reminder: With 60 Senate seats, Democrats can put an end to a filibuster by the minority party.

You all can do the math...
