Big Bill

No, not Clinton.

Today Barack Obama made official his choice of commerce secretary, nominating Bill Richardson. Richardson was my first choice for president, so of course I think highly of him. He is a strong voice for Main Street on economic issues, he is an experienced international negotiator. He has already held a cabinet post. Of all the people who ran for President this year he was the most qualified. He will raise the profile of the department of commerce considerably. He's a good choice.

And I don't know what it means to have a dedicated sportsman and avid hunter as commerce secretary, but it can only help.
