Actually, I expect a strong appointment this time around -- not necessarily someone I'd agree with on policy and principles, but someone trusted by the Street who can make those backroom calls like Rubin used to make. Bush burned himself badly by turning to a smokestack guy as Treasury Sec., and I think he'll turn to someone in finance the next time around. I don't know much about the GOP bench here and so don't have any early betting line on who gets the job, though.
