But keep in mind that the job of SEC Chair is to set the pace and agenda for the agency, so I think you need someone who's more than able to just dive into numbers and has the personality to get the job done. Is there a particular CPA that you have in mind? Also, I'd hardly call Minnow an amateur. She's brought a common sense approach to shareholder activism and corporate governance that gets the job done without coming off as shrill or crazy.

I was just going to say that it needs to be a CPA. This Minow person appears to be a generalist, the SEC is a very specialized area and not a place for amateurs. @ dru: Thank you for a reasonable voice in here.
