Judd Gregg has withdrawn from the nomination for Commerce Secretary.
You can watch a news video on this from the Huffington Post.
I'm not too sad about the news. You can see my concerns, expressed in my earlier post on the nomination.
Thanks to Ken for the news.

We're still waiting on President Obama to name someone to the position of Secretary of Commerce. Recent reports show two names have surfaced in the pool of possibilities: John Thompson, a Symantec CEO; and Padrasmee Warrior, CTO of CISCO. According to Reuters' report, John Thompson has the edge right now. According to CBS, he's got the job.
Other past rumors of contenders for the post included wealthy Penny Pritzker.
The CNMI needs to pay attention because the Secretary of Commerce has duties that directly impact on our situation here, including (but not limited to) a leading role in the National Marine Monument.
