President Obama nominates a well-regarded conservative Republican to the post of Commerce Secretary. After a few weeks, however, Senator Judd Gregg just couldn't step out of line with his party and withdrew his name from consideration.
Well, here and here there is strong sense that Gregg bowed to pressure from his party to thwart the president's attempt at bipartisanship. No surprise there, really. Just as they did with Bill Clinton, the Republican Party will stop at nothing to bring down an immensely popular president not of their own party. They are the Alexis Carringtons of politics.
