By BaxterWe love it when the folks over at Free Republic do our work for us. Almost as much as we love the tizzy that President Obama has thrown Senate Republicans into — by considering Judd Gregg of New Hampshire for Commerce Secretary.
You see, with Al Franken close to being seated from Minnesota, a new Senator from New Hampshire — appointed by a Democratic Governor to fill a Gregg vacancy — would bring Harry Reid's majority to 60. But even if the deal is never done, the fact that the President has sent Mitch McConnell and his GOP minions scrambling in utter panic is amusement enough for us.
Of course, the Freepers are mighty displeased about the Gregg possibility. That's fun, too. Here are some of the more classic comments.
"Now I now [sic] why Dudd [sic] Gregg voted for Secretary Tax Cheat. I used to like Judd Gregg."
"Taking the offer is political treason, given a Democrat will replace him."
"The only thing Gregg has going for him is he is less anti-gun than Obama. He is a memeber [sic] of the pro-abort [sic] 'Republicans for Choice.' RINO."
And then here's this fairly reasonable post by someone named "trumandogz." You can rest assured that the Freepers will ban him in a heartbeat.
"It is not all that unusual for a Senator to be appointed to a cabinet post and be replaced as Senator by a person of the other party. However, this case would have a strange dynamic in that the Senator being appointed is not of the same party as the President. Pure genius for Democrats. Not good for the Republicans."
