Geithner, not Summers.

Frankly, I don't know enough about economics or the relative strengths of Tim Geithner vs. Larry Summers as Treasury Secretary, but, with the various clouds and complications hanging over a potential Summers bid, I would think Geithner is, by far, the better choice.

We don't need a confirmation struggle with a Treasury Secretary right now. We need someone good to step in, undistracted, and begin work before day one, and Geithner appears to be that guy.

Also, an interesting look at replacing all the nominees in their home state positions.
