Yellen would be the first female Fed chief and has been embraced by the left, perhaps because progressives find her more qualified but also because they just don’t like Summers. This week, Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, came out against Summers, and an aide to the senator said he plans to send a letter to the White House by week’s end outlining his concerns with the controversial candidate.

“I have strong reservations about Summers,” Begich said. “My view is based on the time that I’ve been here, with the couple years that I worked with him, and I just didn’t get a sense that he clearly understood what the middle class is going through, the struggles — especially on the housing issue.”

“Some of us tried to push him to move into doing something to help a lot of these homeowners who are underwater, it came late in the game,” Begich continued. “I just didn’t sense that he understood what the middle class is going through, and I didn’t vote for Bernanke, and so I’m kind of consistent.”
