This just in on Huffington Post:

New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg has withdrawn his nomination to serve as President Obama's Commerce Secretary. Gregg cited “irresolvable conflicts” involving the stimulus package and the Census.

Gregg held a press conference Thursday night to announce his withdrawal. The move has sparked new concerns about Obama's vetting process, as sources close to the White House say the president's team was not fully aware of Gregg's position on the census prior to his being nominated to the Commerce post.

White House officials were “blindsided” by the news, Politico reports.

I really want to know if the rant from the far right on WND reported here the other day and anything to do with his decision?
