...well-known duo of economic advisers. Timothy Geithner, president of the New York Federal Reserve, will be his Treasury Secretary, and Larry Summers, a former Treasury Secretary, will lead his National Economic Council at the White House. He also named Melody Barnes, a longtime aide to Senator Edward Kennedy, to lead his Domestic Policy Council; and Christine Romer, a University of California, Berkeley, economist, to chair the Council of Economic Advisers, two other White House policy shops.

In that chamber, she is just one of many presidential also-rans and a relatively junior member of an institution where power and advancement require seniority.
