Another One Bites The Dust. Now What?

jgregg.jpgSen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., withdrew his nomination for Commerce secretary today, citing differing views with President Barack Obama on the economic stimulus and the Census. "Obviously, the president requires a team that is fully supportive of all of his initiatives," Gregg said. In a statement, Gregg said he and Obama discussed the differences during the nominating process but "unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy."

Shortly before Gregg was tapped, there was plenty of buzz inside the Beltway and in Silicon Valley about Symantec CEO John Thompson's candidacy for the job that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson also turned down. Thompson told Tech Daily Dose on Inauguration Day that, if chosen, he would be honored to serve in the new administration. It is unclear whether the high-tech executive is back in the running or if he would still want the position after being edged out by the senator. For more on Gregg, see Friday's CongressDaily AM Edition, which will be online later this evening.
