When Judd Gregg reconsidered accepting the position of Commerce Secretary, he thwarted the Obama/Pelosi/Reid plan for Jeanne Sheheen’s elevation to senior senator from New Hampshire. Although only in office a short time, Sheehan's an avid, aggressive proponent of socialism and government control. (We still are suffering the effects of her years as governor here in New Hampshire.)
Being named senior Senator would have been a juicy tidbit for her to grasp so soon after taking office. How could she best do this and weld her influcence? By getting Judd Gregg out of the way!
At first it looked as though the plan would work...that Gregg would grab the carrot. However, fortunately he reconsidered and is back at his old job.

Media Criticism of Judd Gregg
I’ve been reading and listening to criticism of Judd Gregg because he refused the Obama nomination for Commerce Secretary. I was disappointed that Judd Gregg accepted it in the first place and wondered what he had been offered or if he’d been too trusting.
It would seem that he had been too trusting and thought he could do more good in that position. However, the true light of the Obama administration soon came to light:
They removed overseeing the census from Senator Gregg and the Commerce Dept and gave to the White House team, where figures can be (and likely will be) manipulated to benefit the Democrats.
They removed Judd Gregg from the Senate so he wouldn’t be involved in the Stimulus Bill input and voting. Did he have that much influence among fellow Republicans and possibly some Democrats?
Would Gregg's removal then enable Jean Sheheen to become senior Senator from NH almost as soon as she took office because the new appointee would be her junior? Ah! The scheming that could be done then.
No matter what, they have destroyed Gregg’s credibility in running for a 2010 term.
I do commend Judd Gregg for reconsidering and taking his place in the Senate.

Senator Judd Gregg Sees the Light
I am delighted that Judd Gregg, our senator from New Hampshire, has “seen the light” and refused the nomination for Secretary of Commerce. He apparently has discovered the trickiness of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Administration and realized he was being used to get his influence out of the Senate.
As Gregg has mentioned regarding his refusal of the nomination, he has differences with Obama’s policies. It would have been nice if Gregg had realized right off and refused the nomination entirely. Then there wouldn’t have been this disruption during the discussion and voting on the Stimulus Bill.
Census Work Taken Away
Also, as soon as Gregg was nominated, the census work was was removed from the job description of Secretary of Commerce. No discussion with Gregg, just simply the announcement that the White House now was going to oversee this. Already, Gregg was being made a figurehead as soon as they got him out of the Senate and away from voting against the Stimulus.
Nice going, Judd Gregg, finally to have seen the light and stood up for your principles, even though you wavered momentarily while under the mesmerization of the Obama crew.
