Think it'll happen?

1. He's quite old so I doubt it.

2. What about (Pittsburgh's own) Paul O'Neill?

If you need to have a few republicans to make things look 'diverse', why not pick a republican that jams a thumb in the eye of the bushes, and declares "*THIS* is a moderate republican"?

3. It was interesting that he was positioned right behind Obama

I think he would be a wise choice for about a yr. And then have a good young guy under him, ready to take over. Maybe Austin Goolsby

4. Dear God, Let It Be True

He has the experience, and unlike some others being discussed, he does not have a record of sodomizing the Middle Class.

5. very bright and a good soul

but a little dogmatic imho

6. That article is 3 weeks old. I think it will be Summers.

7. Volcker as Sec. and Geithner as Deputy Sec.

Then Geithner takes over in two years so Volcker can retire.

Volcker is a legend. It would be awesome to see him back in action.
