Bernanke for Federal Reserve Chairman

Larry Kudlow calls the Bernanke nomination "a good choice" and is happy that Greenspan's reported preference of Donald Kohn to be his successor was rejected:

Thank heavens that Fed board member Donald Kohn, who is a demand-sider and a Phillips Curver, did not get the nod.

After the disastrous Miers nomination the President had little room for another screw up. Bernanke's a solid choice similar to the Roberts nomination and should be confirmed easily. More importantly he should also be a solid successor to Alan Greenspan.
