Judd Gregg: "Nothing about the vetting process played any role in this decision."

By GottaLaff

A few updates to add to what we already know:

Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) withdrew from consideration as Secretary of Commerce citing "irresolvable conflicts" over President Obama's economic stimulus package and oversight of the Census Bureau.

In a statement, Gregg noted that "nothing about the vetting process played any role in this decision."

Marc Ambinder: "Gregg's decision to withdraw caught the White House by surprise. The press office found out about it at about the same time as the world did. If senior administration officials had advance notice, they did not widely disseminate it." [...]

In a conference call, Gregg confirmed he will not run for re-election in 2010.
