Hand it to Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH). The conservative senator from
the Granite State turned down an appointment to the position of
President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Commerce citing “irreconcilable

Citing the latest Senate vote on Obama’s economic stimulus package,
for which Gregg voted “no,” Gregg said, “ We are functioning from a
different set of views on many critical items of policy."
