They Found Senator Gregg

But they are still having a problem determining what he really believes in:
Judd Gregg last week on the Obama fiscal boost plan:

We need a robust [bill]. I think the one that's pending is in the range we need. I do believe it's a good idea to do it at two levels, which this bill basically does, which is immediate stimulus and long-term initiatives which actually improve our competitiveness and our productivity.

Judd Gregg today:

Republican Sen. Judd Gregg is putting a final exclamation point on his withdrawal as Barack Obama's designee for Commerce Secretary with a promise to vote against the president's economic stimulus package. Gregg's office confirmed the decision Friday.
From Brad DeLong. A fine blog by an even angrier wonk.

Memo to the Republicans. This kind of juvenile gotcha game was funny when the economy was growing and we were at peace. Like when Bill Clinton was president. Right now your antics are really tiresome.
