Corporate Democrat watch, October 25

Moyers and Company provide some quick-take Morning Reads for today. Including:

Politico has a story this morning that will raise liberal concern about one top progressive priority: Wall Street regulation. “A senior Democrat on Capitol Hill has been assuring bank lobbyists that former Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair (and ex-Goldman Sachs exec and current Hillary Clinton campaign aide) Gary Gensler will probably not be getting a top spot in a potential Clinton administration,” Ben White and Andrew Hanna report.

Assurances that Gensler won’t be in the administration is one of the mixed signals coming from the Clinton campaign that has progressives worried.
