He is telling the FOX Business Network that the decision is going to be made – who to get this job in several weeks… but what we understand is that Larry Summers this source says, is the odds on favorite," Gasparino reported.
He continued, "Let me describe the odds, as it was described to me, and it shows you why he is not necessarily in there yet. It’s been described to me - and this is a very well played source as 60-40 that Larry Summers gets it… and here is the one thing that is going on right now that I think is kind of interesting.
