Gov. Gary Locke of Washington state was confirmed late last night as Commerce Secretary. Read more at the NY Times blog.
Locke was the third in a series of Obama picks for the post, but as they say, third time's the charm. (Note: Gov. Bill Richardson removed his name from consideration due to legal troubles, and Senator Judd Gregg withdrew his name citing philosophical differences between himself and Obama, as well as a controversy over who controls the Census.)
