Fourth attempt at Commerce?

Stephanopoulos, on ABC News, said that looking for a new candidate will be the 4th attempt.

Any idea why? All I can think of are Richardson and Gregg.

(Of course, he did say Democrats when he meant to say Republicans..)

1. Okay, I'll do it. Somebody tell Prez Obama Mookie/Capt. Hilts will take the job.

And I'll do it for a salary a third lower.

Let's get this show on the road.

2. there was some buzz in the beginning

Edited on Thu Feb-12-09 07:20 PM by ErinBerin84

about Penny (Pritzker?) getting the job, but she said right away pretty much that she was not interested. Kind of seems misleading to call it the 4th attempt.

10. he is kinda right, technically he is wrong

Pritzker took her name out of the running or she would have been the nominee. Richardson fucked himself. Gregg crumbled like dry poop. Maybe he will nominate Burris. Thats a guy who will take his seat no matter what.

8. I only watched the beginning

When Gibson says "ANOTHER STUMBLE FOR OBAMA....Another nominee withdraws, this time, over POLICY!", I turned it off.

More like POLITICS, Charlie.
