Governor Bill Richardson, President-elect Obama’s choice for Commerce Secretary, has withdrawn his name from nomination, citing a grand jury investigation into alleged “pay to play” deals involving a California company and his home state of New Mexico.
Richardson’s sudden departure indicates to me one of two things:
- The grand jury is about to return some pretty damning charges against Richardson; or,
- He has absolutely no stomach for politics to let a little thing like a grand jury investigation get in the way of his nomination.
After all, you don’t see Hillary breaking a sweat, do you?

Welcome Tim! Perhaps the beard was a little too itchy. As a recently shorn beard wearer, I can attest to this.
