for the Obama presidency, who will be the Secretary of Defense and who should it be? Is Patreaus still an option and would Obama consider him?

With a record of 109-23 (.826) and six Big 12 championships in 10 seasons, Stoops has reason to be arrogant. But he is not. He is somewhere between humble and unimpressed.

my biggest question, is whether he will govern from the left or from the centrist platform he ran on?
I don't think Patraeus is eligible anyway. Isn't the law such that former military must be out of the military for a certain amount of time before they can be Secretary of Defense?
As I said in the other thread, he would be crazy to govern with Pelosi and Reid...he would lose half the people who elected him

"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked." INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983) (Burger, C.J.)
Keeping Gates as SecDef would be a tremendously smart move both for him politically and the country. Gates is an excellent SecDef and far far better this his predecessor.
That's the absolutely last time I'm complimenting an Aggie.
No such law. You can go home from your military job in the Pentagon one day, and go to work in the Pentagon in a suit as a civil servant the next day. That's called "double dipping" and countless thousands have retired from both systems. Heck, some even become "triple dippers" by working for the gubmint as a GI, civilian, and then as a government contractor. The exception is for those GI's who worked in acquisition programs. You can't go to work for the company to whom you awarded or administred a contract until a certain period of time passes.

"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
