HUH?:

Richardson to Commerce? (Chris Cillizza, 11/21/08, WP: The Fix)

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has emerged as a "serious contender" to head the Commerce Department under President-elect Barack Obama, according to a Democratic official close to the proceedings.

Okay, we get that the UR is desperate to fill a couple slots with Hispanics, but why put one of the few executives in charge of such a trivial department and why would a governor want the gig?
