Richardson Withdraws

Governor Bill Richardson is withdrawing from consideration for Commerce Secretary. There's a grand jury investigation into possible pay to play with a California finance company who gave $$ to Richardson's campaign and got a contract with the state of New Mexico. Richardson states that he and his administration "have acted properly in all matters" but is withdrawing his name from consideration because the grand jury investigation would cause a long delay in the confirmation process. Obama has accepted Richardson's withdrawal. I have a lot of questions, starting with did Richardson know about the grand jury investigation when he allowed Obama to announce him as his nominee for Commerce? Bye, bye and let's move on to the inauguration without this distraction.
