Take comfort in the fact his replacement will be even worse.
“Potential replacements for Chu include former North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and former Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire.”

I was hoping that Obama would name Senator Tom Udall from NM, which would allow Gov. Susana Martinez to appoint Lt. Gov. John Sanchez, who would have a good chance of holding tbe seat in 2014 (when Martinez is running for reelection and there won’t be presidential-type turnout). Tom Udall was rumored to want it, and hopefully Obama’s arrogance is such that he believes that he can visit NM and singlehandedly get the state to elect a Democrat.
