Taylor and the Fed. John Taylor may be well-backed for World Bank president, but he's also connected with another job - filling Alan Greenspan's shoes at the Federal Reserve.

The odds of that, however, appear to be lengthening, with an anonymous "Fed watcher" knifing him for CNN:

"When he was appointed (to Treasury) it was with the expectation that he would be the next Fed chairman. But he had his shot and he blew it. He hasn't stood out as a leader in the administration, which he was expected to do."

So does Taylor get the World Bank as a consolation prize or will he be leaving Washington empty-handed? Do tell us if you know...
