Look what's going on while Republicans are having cocktails with Obama:
Republican Senator Judd Gregg is probably going to be getting more love today than anybody in Washington, as buzz builds about his possible selection as President Obama's nominee for Secretary of Commerce. Should Gregg accept the post, New Hampshire's Democratic Governor John Lynch will appoint his successor -- the 60th Senator Obama needs to stop filibusters (assuming Al Franken is sworn in).
Some promising signals are emanating from the Gregg camp. This week Gregg called President Obama a "tour de force" and he has said "I can't tell you anything...no comment," in response to media inquiries about his possible nomination, according to the New York Times.
