BREAKING NEWS - Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire Withdraws from being Commerce Secratary. In an about face to the Obama administration, Sen Gregg says Thanks but No Thanks to being in charge of commerce for the United States.

“Gregg… abruptly withdrew his nomination as commerce secretary Thursday, citing “irresolvable conflicts” with President Barack Obama’s handling of the economic stimulus and 2010 census. “We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy,”
