From a Friend in Washington State
From my interview just now with Gregoire spokesperson Laura Lockard:
Q: Is Governor Gregoire going to be Obama's nominee for Commerce
Secretary?
A: “We’re not able to speak to that so we’ll do a release in the
morning.”
Q: Where is she?
A: “She’s out of state.”
Q: Is she in the country?
A: "I’m not allowed to say.”
Q: Is she going to continue as Governor of Washington State?
A: "I’m not allowed to say.”
Like everyone, I await tomorrow's announcement. But I will say—and
again this is just tea leaves—that Lockard didn't sound like a staffer
who was mourning some sort of personal tragedy in her boss's life.
And, not to get too far ahead of things, but: Governor Brad Owen?
UPDATE: It looks like the blog entry I reprinted was actually originally from a Stranger Slog entry by Eli Sanders.
FINAL WORD: Turns out that she is going to visit WA State troops in Iraq. Phew! Because Brad Owen scares me.
