If President Obama continues his streak of wise appointments, then he should definitely nominate Republican Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire to the post of U.S. Commerce Secretary.
Such a nomination would show Obama's continued commitment to bipartisanship in his Cabinet, and would allow the Democratic Governor of New Hampshire to appoint a Democrat to the then-vacated Senate seat now held by the Republican Gregg.
This would put the Democrats in the Senate one step closer to getting the 60 vote supermajority needed to block Republican filibusters of Democratic legislative initiatives championed by the President.
So, I say...welcome "Secretary Gregg".
