It occurred to me earlier when his replacement was announced so quickly that Rumsfeld either resigned or was forced out before yesterdays elections. If that was the case I wonder if it would have helped some candidates that lost if it had been announced earlier. Then again it might have made things worse.
I don't like the Gates thing for a couple of reasons not the least of which is the President's tendency to pick advisors with close ties to his father. If the President was interested in a new direction than he should have picked someone with fresh ideas not another advisor from a long list of recycled Bush Sr. cronies. It might not matter now that the Dems have control of the Senate as Gates might not get past the Senate confirmation hearings.
