American Agora

Now that the election is over, the Obama team moves on to their first of many challenges: the cabinet selection. For me, this process provides more excitement than the actual election. It is in the next few weeks that Obama will layout his vision for the country over the next 4 years.

First up, Secretary of Defense:

I find the Defense short list most intriguing. Two of the top runners are Republican Senator Chuck Hagel and current Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

Is anyone else surprised at the Obama's willingness to address his 'softness' on terrorism and promise at bipartisanism? Is this Obama pragmatism at its finest?
