...Obama has tapped two of his party's brightest economic lights. Summers, who became president of Harvard after leaving his job in the Clinton Cabinet, is the economic leader of his generation, but he sometimes plays poorly in the public spotlight. Geithner, a Summers protégé, is smoother and more politically deft, able to work both for the Clinton team and alongside the Bush Administration.

Her days of intense rehearsal were apparent, but she was much smoother than in recent media interviews when unspooling canned lines and opinions. Was crisp and calm and kept her folksiness to a few short bursts but effectively unleashed her earthy, relatable charm at choice moments in a winning...
