The real reason Judd Gregg dropped out?

Perhaps it's time the media asked outright whether the religious right vetoed Bonnie Newman's appointment to replace Judd Gregg, lest she break one glass ceiling too many. And no, I'm not talking about her being a closet "woman."

UPDATE: Even more suspicion, and BS. Gregg reportedly dropped out after meeting with GOP leaders for the past couple of days. Gee, about what? What suddenly became so important that the GOP leaders needed to implore Gregg to keep his seat? Were they concerned that Bonnie Newman wouldn't be seated, or worse, would be forced to step down and then the Dem governor of NH would say "Hey, I tried, you got your Republican, now you're getting a Democrat?"

And just as good, Gregg is now saying, in the same article, that he suddenly realized that sometimes he'd be on one side of another while Obama's cabinet would be on the other. Gee, you think? Judd Gregg, conservative Republican from NH, never realized that he might have differing views from the Obama administration? Then there's this. Gregg suddenly realized that he won't agree with Obama 100%, and that he doesn't like working in a team, he prefers working as an individual. Again, Judd Gregg, at the age of 61, just realized, a week or so after taking the Commerce job, that he and Obama don't agree on everything, and that he isn't a good team player.

All of this is a ruse, folks. Judd Gregg dropped out for some other reason. Either he never intended to take the job, and was just using it as an opportunity to get the Republicans to woo him back with some big prize, or Bonnie Newman suddenly had to withdraw her name for "personal reasons." Either way, we deserve to know the truth.
