President Obama's economic program may or may not be the second coming of the New Deal, but by naming Judd Gregg to be his secretary of commerce, he's following in the footsteps of Franklin Delano Roosevelt--by appointing a prominent New Hampshire Republican to a key post in his administration.

In 1935, Roosevelt appointed John G. Winant, who had served three terms as New Hampshire governor, to head the Social Security Office. He later named Winant ambassador to Britain, a post he held during World War II.
