I guess that's one way to get Judd Gregg (R-NH) out of the Senate.

[Raven]

Secretary of Commerce...Democratic Governor appoints a seat warmer and Hodes runs in 2010.

Thoughts, people? :eyes:

[Vinca]

1. Judd would be smart to hop all over that offer if it's made.

He's got an uphill battle in 2 years and he knows it. My worry is Lynch would appoint a moderate Republican to fill the seat.

[Thrill]

2. After reading up on the NH Governor. I no longer think this is a good idea

Sounds like this guy may just appoint another Repuke

[geek tragedy]

3. The guv would appoint a Repug or a Lieberdem.

No, no, no, no.

Terrible idea.

[Phx_Dem]

4. It will give us a fillibuster-proof majority of 60 in the Senate

because the NM Gov is a Dem and he'll be appointing Gregg's replacement.

I say bring on Judd Gregg!

[Tesha]

7. John Lynch is a Democrat like the Blue Dog Southern Democrats who voted against the stimulus...

...are Democrats. Don't be so sure he'd nominate a Democrat to
the vacant seat.

5. Hey, it could happen.

[Renew Deal]

6. I'm comfortable with whatever Lynch chooses to do (except a Blago situation)
