However, the Clintonite Gang of Three -- Laurence Meyer, Roger Ferguson and Edward Gramlich -- insisted on a 50-basis-point hike. Greenspan apparently decided to switch rather than fight.

This comment is difficult to reconcile. Why would Clinton appointees, presumably Democrats at heart, want to create an economic disruption during an election year?

Zoltan,

Thanks for the link.

Just for the record, L. Kudlow, the CNBC journalist, has felt for some time that no more raises are needed. I also agree with the notion that AG is being pressured by other more hawkish governors to raise rates, one of the negatives of action by committee.
