Losing a Governor?

Hmmm…

Gregoire as Commerce Secretary?
(Eli Sanders, Slog, 5 Jan 2009)

Q: Is Governor Gregoire going to be Obama’s nominee for Commerce Secretary?

A: “We’re not able to speak to that so we’ll do a release in the morning.”

Q: Where is she?

A: “She’s out of state.”

Q: Is she in the country?

A: “I’m not allowed to say.”

Q: Is she going to continue as Governor of Washington State?

A: “I’m not allowed to say.”

All I can say is that from what little exposure I’ve had to her (seeing her in person a couple times at the Democratic caucus events and watching one of the televised Gubernatorial debates) I really really REALLY don’t like her. Yet I find myself torn between being happy she won’t be in Washington State any more, and appalled that she will be in the Obama administration.

Assuming the rumors turn out to be true of course.
