What a weird (political) day ...

First, Obama nominates Judd Gregg to Commerce: ["Judd Gregg to head Commerce Department"]. I have really mixed feelings about this but I don't have the time to get into it ...
Then Sen. Feingold gets into the mix: ["Feingold Calls for Constitutional Change to Senate Appointment Following Gregg Nomination"]. Good ole Russ ... raising hell ...
And Rep. Paul Hodes jumps into the 2010 race: ["Rep. Paul Hodes to seek Gregg's Senate seat"]. Shea Porter is also interested but isn't going to jump in yet. I wonder what the means for Katrina Swett, Steve Marchaud, that astronaut from Hanover, whose name is slipping me at the moment, who have all been waiting their turn to run ...
Later, Tom Daschle drops out of HHS contention: ["Tom Daschle Withdraws As Health Nominee"]. What a disaster he would have been. Thank goodness he is out.
And then, this other nominee drops out too: ["Citing Tax Troubles, an Obama Appointee Withdraws"]. I don't know this woman but let me ask this: What's with these people and their taxes? What a weird day ...

Update:
And then, it gets even weirder!! ... ["Gregg Voted to Kill Commerce Before He Agreed to Lead It"].
