    You are not trying to get rid of CFK are you? : )

    I suspect it the position will go to a candidate from France or Germany, huge contributors and, therefore, more power and voting rights. People are talking about Gordon Brown as an outside candidate but those people should be avoided at all costs as they are clearly mad

    Gordon Brown names is being named for the position of the World Bank (Twin brother/sister of the IMF), but A European can forget about that, because that is a job that is suppose to go to an American, according to the good old agreements.

    Gordon Brown, greatest clown ever who sold UK's gold for peanuts..LOL.

    Sadly, his name has been associated with the IMF job too - but I think only his wife, children and a few random crazy people think it is a good idea.

    Fortunately, he would need the support of the UK government in order to be considered. I think that means absolutely no chance. : )
