From the WSJ: Obama to Pick Geithner as Treasury Secretary

Mr. Obama plans to introduce his entire economic team early next week, hoping to sooth the roiling financial markets and answer rising pressure on the president-elect to become more involved.

BTW, Brad Setser at Follow the Money worked for Geithner at both the IMF and the Treasury. I'll be interested in his comments.

I think Geithner is a great choice.
