Nate projects that Franken will win.
Feds bailout Citi and take a stake in the company. Does that mean as taxpayers, since we now have stake in all these companies, we'll get bonuses this year along with the execs?
Obama to name his economic team (which is getting flack for being a bunch of Clinton retreads) this morning and to provide more details on his economic recovery plan. On the morning shows yesterday, Sen Schumer said that Congress expects to have a legislation on Obama's desk on Inauguration Day--a "new new deaL" to the tune of $700B.
This is for Dave: A great little article in Newsweek drawing comparisons between FDR's transition to the presidency and Obama's.
5 who didn't make the cut in the Cabinet. Includes this rationale for giving Richardson a post (which frankly irritated me but I'd forgotten that he was an early supporter):
Bill Richardson, State — New Mexico’s governor and former Clinton U.N. ambassador-cum-Energy secretary dearly wanted State. And Obama owed him big-time, both for his primary endorsement and for Richardson’s now-forgotten decision to swing his delegates to Obama during the Iowa caucuses. If he’s upset, though, his tears will apparently fall on the Cabinet table. He’s reportedly the new Commerce secretary, and was apparently offered Interior too.

Morning Roundup--Short Version. Sassy has a real job to do.
Not sure why Penny Pritzker was ever really a contender for Commerce, but looks like she's out.
I like Napolitano as Homeland Security (loving all this female energy in Barack's cabinet) but I would rather she run against McCain in 2010.
Will she or won't she? Clinton still undecided while Harry Reid tries to find a new role for her in the Senate if she decides to stay.
Bush is getting the cold shoulder from international leaders:
11-19-08: CNN: George Bush snubbed at the G20 Summit. Everyone greeting each other and shaking hands, but Bush walks with his head down like the dejected most unpopular kid in high school.
