WASHINGTON (AFX) -- One of the most enduring rumors in Washington has resurfaced. The Wall Street Journal reported online in its Washington Wire column Thursday that Treasury Secretary John Snow could leave office after the Group of Eight meetings in Russia on June 9 and 10. 'Republican sources say White House has homed in on successor,' the Journal reported. Declining to speculate, a senior administration official told the Journal, 'Why would I start now?' The names being floated as a successor to Snow are familiar: Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick, former Commerce Secretary and presidential buddy Don Evans, U.S. Ambassador to India David Mulford, and former White House economic adviser Steve Friedman.
