The Wall Street Journal reports that Elizabeth Warren is consulting with business and consumer groups to find someone to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The implication is that the President is likely to be influenced by Warren's recommendations. "Among the names being discussed are Iowa's attorney general, Tom Miller; New York state bank regulator Richard Neiman; and former Office of Thrift Supervision director Ellen Seidman."
