Beggers can't be choosers

This picture would be so much more appropriate if Bonnie Newman was perched right between the former presidents. It will do for now, though, since I'm sure Mrs. Newman's photo will be in the news quite a bit in the upcoming cycle. If reports are materialized, she just may be Gregg's replacement in the Senate if he get asked, says yes, becomes nominated and confirmed into the commerce secretary position in Obama's shiny new cabinet. The picture sounds too good to be true- Gregg needs a republican to replace him to avoid some serious dissaproval by his right winged peers and Newman just so happens to be on the good side of New Hampshire's democratic governor- the man with the appointing power. But is Newman too liberal for their taste? Not that the GOP has a choice; the governor will choose who he thinks is best fit and they should be grateful that he may be considering inching a little to the right in his decision. We'll see how this pans out but in the mean time the negotiations are a nice start and hopefully it won't turn out to be too good to be true. The party doesn't need another clone who will buckle under tradition and expectation- which are not always the sturdiest pillars to stand upon.
