Spin Control

Not to say ‘Toldya so’ but…

As reported by rumor last week in Spin Control, former Washington Gov. Gary Locke is apparently President Obama's pick to head the Commerce Secretary.

The Associated Press is quoting an anonymous source as saying the announcement hasn't been made yet but that's the way it's shaping up.

Why the secrecy? The Obama administration may be hoping for third time's the charm on this one, as opposed to three strikes you're out.
