...everyone is thrilled at his nomination to succeed Greenspan: The true believers in ?supply-side? economics at the conservative National Review may back President Bush on most issues, but they are no more impressed with the nomination of Bernanke than they are with that of Harriet Miers. Bernanke, they warn, doesn't share some of their basic positions on issues such as taxation. By contrast, curiously enough, Paul Krugman - standard bearer of the Left in national economic debates and often a fierce critic of Greenspan - appears to welcome the nomination of his former Princeton colleague, although he fears that Bernanke...

President Bush's nomination of Ben S. Bernanke to replace Fed chairman Alan Greenspan seems - so far, at least - mercifully free of controversy. The U.S. stock market rallied on the announcement, as foreign-exchange buyers drove up the value of the dollar against the Euro and other currencies.

His "top priority," he said in accepting the nomination Monday, would be to "maintain continuity with policies" put in place during Greenspan's widely hailed 18-year tenure. That's just what traders wanted to hear. Stock prices were floating higher already in the wake of some good corporate earnings reports and falling energy prices. But the appointment of Bernanke, 51, fueled more buying in the afternoon (the Dow closed up 169.78 points...

...appears that he's been being groomed for the top Fed job since June, when Bernanke left the Fed's board of governors to serve as chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. The Fed is supposed to operate independent of politics. But part of the Greenspan legacy was his ability to work with the White House. Keeping open that line of communication is seen as vital, rendering Bernanke's recent months working with Bush all the more important...
