I can't believe that the Senate GOP is so empty-headed that it would even be contemplating getting rid of one of this members.
Though if John McCain was offered the position, I would make an exception.
The Weekly Standard’s take... Does it really matter if the Republicans have 41 votes or 40? After all, there are likely to be a number of bad bills on which a few liberal Republicans—Specter, Snowe, Collins—side with the Democrats and render any GOP threat to filibuster moot. Of course, there will be some truly atrocious left-wing measures—card-check, taxpayer-funding of abortions, etc.—where almost every Republican will be willing to filibuster and the GOP has a good chance of plucking off the small number of Democrats needed to thwart the bill. These are the kind of votes where having, or not having, Judd Gregg in the Senate could make all the difference.

Exactly. They will get him to resign and then get a Dem in their to get their majority. That is a lot more valuable than some GOPer in the cabinet.
does mccan’t count?
