As she explains in her abstract, her research “suggest[s] that the problems in the CDO [Collateralized Debt Obligations, for the non-ec types out there] market were caused by a combination of poorly constructed CDOs, irresponsible underwriting practices, and flawed credit rating procedures.” Seems simple enough.

Or perhaps even follow formerly Republican Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who, facing a conservative revolt in his state, last year bolted the GOP to run as a Democrat in his re-election bid this year.
