There's been some chatter that perhaps President Obama might not nominate Elizabeth Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Agency (her brainchild, basically), especially since Tim Geithner was said to oppose the nomination.

If Obama picks someone else, he'll anger a core base, without getting any upside.

She's getting the job.
