Today's Bloomberg story about the possibility of Clinton retread Larry Summers returning to the Treasury was nothing new to me.

At my blog, I have already covered the Summers possibility, along with Hagel at Defense and Kerry at State, more than two weeks ago, as well as the possibility of retaining Paulson more than a month ago. Geithner and others, including Gene Sperling, were already getting mentions weeks ago; another related post is here.

So, it's Clinton 2.0, it looks like, at least in fiscal and monetary policy.

Nothing new, unless the "change" meme remains, for many, a blank slate on which to project beliefs that Obama will actually be more liberal than he is. Remember, this is the same Obama who, already in 2000, called for a united Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel, and that was just at the political pander level of running for a House seat.
