Never mind...

Penny Pritzker says she's out.

Penny Pritzker, in the mix to be President-elect Barack Obama's Commerce Secretary, just sent [The Chicago Sun-Times' Lynn Sweeet] an e-mail saying she is not a candidate for the post. Pritzker is a member of the Obama transition operation and chaired his finance committee. Money she helped raise from major donors in the first quarter of the campaign was crucial to establishing Obama as a viable presidential candidate.
