Here's the story.
President Barack Obama is likely to announce former Washington Gov. Gary Locke as his choice for Commerce Secretary this week a senior administration official said. Locke was the first Chinese-American governor in U.S. history.
Locke seems more plausible than the first two choices, though for two very different reasons.
And now an open post for your reactions to this likely appointment, with, of course, the usual requirements that comments be civil and on-topic.
Note: As soon as I posted this, I saw that Eric had a post on the same topic, so I am closing this post to comments, so that we can keep comments on the appointment together.
