Summers in the 'Burg
Thomas Lipscomb thinks William & Mary President Gene Nichol is "hiding." Here is the most interesting tidbit though, Nichol has vowed to resign if the Board of Visitors overrules him. While I know this is an outlandish suggestion and not how institutional governance works, I say, overrule Nichol, let him resign, and hire...Larry Summers! While I am not necessarily a fan of Summer's Rubinomics bent, he is a respected scholar and public persona and would bring alot of star power to Williamsburg.

so that's what led the NYers to elect H. Clinton to the Senate. "public persona and star power". Could someone run an University based just on public persona and star power? Oops, I forgot, universities are a part of the big government.
The post is half facetious, although there is a presumption that Summers is competent too. So if he is competent and high profile, that is as good or better than competent and low profile. The basis of this is that Summers is formerly of Harvard. Places like W&M don't usually get a shot to hire an ex-Harvard president.
And no, NYers elected Hillary for "wear it on your sleeve liberalism" in that it is good enough to have elected a woman who is putatively a symbol of feminism. No matter that she is not from here nor a particularly fine example of feministic achievement.
