Giving credit where it is due...

Mr Obama is expected to name Republican Senator Judd Gregg as commerce secretary.

Mr Obama will hope that Mr Gregg's nomination can help secure approval for the stimulus package, our Washington correspondent says.

Mr Gregg would be the third Republican in Mr Obama's cabinet.

Leaders from both parties worked to make this deal. Basically Judd Gregg wasn't going to accept the cabinet post if the Democratic Gov of New Hampshire replaced him with a Democrat. But they all (The Gov, the state senate, Obama and Gregg) agreed he should be replaced with another Republican. 

Everyone is happy ... yeaaaaa!!
