Is President Obama's nominee for Commerce Secretary still in the Senate? If so why isn't his name listed in the names of Republicans who currently support the President's stimulus package? See the end of this article for a list.

If he cannot support the president on this important measure why is he being considered for a position in the administration? Can't they just watch the World Series together or something?

Inquiring minds would also like to know why Senator Reid has not taken steps to see that Senator Franken takes his rightful place in Senate? He's good enough, he's smart enough and goddammit people like him. Plus, one more Democrat, one fewer concession.
