Well because no one has mentioned them yet, how about the Rocky Mountain Metropolis Sea http://www.bikes.com/main+en+01_102+...ATID=27&Y=2011
or the Opus Sentiero http://www.opusbike.com/en/bikes_5_33-66-sentiero.html
or the Kona ***** Inc http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=*****_inc

I think all would make good commuters, all have drop bars, disc brakes for wet weather commuting, and the Rocky and Opus both have eyelets for front racks if you have a bigger load.
