I imagine his confirmation could get nasty. I just don't believe Obama would want to have that kind of news on such an important pick as Treasury Secretary. I would think several Dems in the Senate would have a problem with him and The Repukes would make it ugly just for the hell of it

2. He's a toad who cannot be turned into a prince.
He's repeatedly shown that.

3. Beautiful metaphor there
My bets are on Geithner. Summers would be a retread by any standard.

4. Thanks. I'm hoping for Paul Krugman unless it's not his area.
