Thurmond wife a front runner for Commerce undersecretary

Strom Thurmond, is a leading candidate, with Rockwell Schnabel as another top supporter. If Schnabel is chosen, Mrs Thurmond could become a deputy undersecretary in the department. The role is seen as high profile for tourism states in the Sun Belt and West Coast.
