I have a suggestion

Come Wednesday, it's going to matter a lot more who is the Treasury Secretary, so it's a question we should be asking about McCain and Obama - who would they appoint? Krugman points out this morning that McCain's frontrunner is Gramm (though you have to wonder about how likely that is now, given how controversial he would be and what a record he has of opposing regulation). But who would Obama pick?

I'd like to throw Jon Corzine's hat in the ring. He's clearly qualified and capable, and it seems like a good idea to give unlimited omnipotent power to someone who is used to being democratically accountable.
