"Obama Unveils His National Security Team"

Earlier this morning, Obama officially unveiled his national security team, including the much anticipated nomination of Clinton for Secretary of State. I was slightly surprised that he decided to keep Gates as Defense Secretary. Any thoughts on Obama's decisions?

Since June, we've been hearing rumors about Obama keeping Gates at DOD. After the election, we heard leaks that it was likely. So I don't think it is much of a surprise.

What interests me, however, is Obama's choice for the new Defense Secretary once the longer-term transition concludes.
