[Sorry about last night's outburst. Chris Maisano's essay was excellent, which lead to getting pissed off at the state of the nation. The states and the fed are systematically ruining the best jobs which are city, county, state and federal jobs through endless budget cuts and crisis, etc.]
How about a running bet on Elizabeth Warren's possible appointment? I bet she gets skipped in favor of a non-entity corporate shill:
``The Republican Party mobilizes the right wing to vote. The Democratic White House insults liberal voters. The Democratic president, in my humble opinion, is preparing one more insult to the base he needs to vote by preparing to pass over Elizabeth Warren for the consumer protection post...''
This pretty interesting coming from what I imagine is the usual neolibral Democrat.
Christine Roemer resigned what, a week ago? She probably got tired of contributing advice and reports to only to see them tossed in the trash.
What's going on? Any theories out there?
