60 Seat Majority

Excellent:
Roll Call reports that the Obama administration is floating Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) for Commerce Secretary. No decisions have been made, but Gregg and Symantec CEO John Thompson are both considered leading candidates.

Of course, Republicans will do everything they can to stop him from taking the job since they would be assured of the appointment of a Democrat by New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch (D).

If Democrats also prevail in the Minnesota recount, that would give them 60 seats.
