[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Treasury has been selected and to be announced within the next week. Apparently its someone that will satisfy both Progressives and Moderates. Im think Sarah Bloom Raskin.[/quote]

Yes, I think it will be Bloom Raskin as well.

CNN says he's close to SecDef pick as well, and could be Duckworth. Although everyone thought Flournoy, and it could still be she, progressives are very unhappy with her ties to defense contractors and that could derail her. Although Duckworth wouldn't be a conventional pick, I think she'd do well with the right team. And it would position her well for the future.[/quote]

Raskin would be a very weak pick, especially for a challenged economy. Not encouraging.[/quote]

Most of the news sources don't have Bloom Raskin amongst the front-runners for Sec Treasury.  Most list these three as the leading contenders:

- Lael Brainard, member of the Fed Reserve Board of Governors, economic advisor to Clinton and Treasury undersecretary for Obama
- Roger Ferguson, former vice chairman of the Fed Reserve, recently retired as CEO of fund manager Teachers Insurance
- Janet Yellen former chair of the fed Reserve , chair of White House Council of Economic Advisors under Clinton, and former member Fed Reserve board of Governors

This is just one of several sources to have that same list:
