Obama Picks GOP Senator for Commerce Post

Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) is Obama's top pick for Commerce Secretary. The Wall Street Journal said Saturday "Mr. Gregg's appointment to the post could give Mr. Obama and his Democratic Party a victory in the Senate, clearing the way for them to pass legislation without fear of a Republican filibuster. It also would provide the administration a strong ambassador to the business community in Mr. Gregg, who devised the $700 billion banking bailout package last year."

Is he really the best man for the job, or is Obama trying to undercut the Republican party?
