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

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.
