New Commerce Secretary and more Bipartisanship

Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire has accepted Obama's proposal of being the next commerce secretary! Increasing this new concept of bipartisanship in Washington. Gregg is known for being fiscally conservative. With another open seat in congress, New Hampshire's governor could have given that seat to another democrat which would have increased the democratic majority to 60.Gregg said he would not give up his seat if it meant it would change the balance in senate. However, the governor will replace Gregg with another republican, Gregg's chief of staff, Bonnie Newman. Newman worked in the White house during the Bush administration and was an assistant commerce secretary during the Reagan administration.

So okay now let's get things started! Hopefully this bipartisanship concept works in our favor!
