But Sachs touted himself as the great man for the job. What was that all
about.Why is not the Nigerian woman the one he would support. As it is the old
tradition is just carrying on. The only victory is Lawrence Summers was not
nominated. But then as comrade Cox rightly notes it should not make all that
much difference to the left anyway. However, it would be good to see that the
developing world has a bit more clout. Here is another account:]

Far from being an anti-climax, I think it's a historic victory for
which Sachs and the people who backed him can claim some credit. Sachs
has just putting out a statement saying that he supports Kim 100%.
Note this from the NYT article, which they also used as their caption:
"Unlike recent World Bank presidents, Dr. Kim is not a former banker
or policy maker in the United States government."
