11. The commerce secretary does virtually nothing |

There isn't even much about "commerce" or economics in the purview of the department. It manages things like the Census Bureau and the National Weather Service.
I'm not crazy about this deal either, but all we probably get in the end is a centrist Republican placeholder (who'll vote with us more than Gregg would have) and an easy pickup in 2010 (rather than a more difficult pickup).
