Sheila Bair has been getting more and more air time recently. The head of the FDIC has to be busier than a one armed paperhanger with jock itch, but I have to say that this is the first government regulator that I've heard who actually sounds competent and up to the task. Very smart and pretty pragmatic.
Frankly, it's a surprising and good feeling. I only wish we had more like her at the Fed, Treasury, and most importantly the SEC.
The banks may just make it through this mess if she gets her way.

She is a leader. Paulson is a follower. She might be the new Treasury Secretary if Candidate X is elected.
