Well, she meets the first requirement: she’s Jewish
#1156: SW 30-07-13 at 23:22
I’m betting "no" – the pick has become too politicized (Summers vs Yellen) so I think he can’t go with either of them without offending important factions.

Summers is too much of a loose cannon. Obama fired him once already. Now way he taps him for this job. Yellen likely to get the job not because she is a woman or Jewish but because she is a Dove on interest rates.

I’m still expecting somebody from Goldman Sachs…

Greenspan all the way!

should be settled yes,

There are still any number things that have a non-zero chance which could happen before February 1st 2014 that could cause her to not actually take the position, so no, it should not be settled yet.

by the rules
"Bet will resolve at Yes if Janet Yellen, currently vice chair, succeeds Bernanke, or if an official announcement and Senate confirmation is made to that effect. "
