hunstman has been floated for State, I still think it is Rice, but I haven't followed Bengzai enough to know whether she get ripped on that. She is, I think, part of the 'time to move on' mentality.

And she is a woman.

I'm hearing a lot of white men's names, and I don't think Obama is going to go all white men.

There is also ddNSA Flournoy who according to the bloggers is a trusted smarter than my cat person. My cat is smart. She is variably speculated for DoD having served as DoD policy chief for 3 years under Obama along with "Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Threat Reduction and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy" under Clinton. Definitely a defense policy wonk:

In addition to several edited volumes and reports, Flournoy has authored dozens of articles on international security issues
"The Inheritance and the Way Forward", with Kurt M. Campbell (date unknown)[2]
The Future of the National Guard and Reserves, with Christine Wormuth, Clark Murdock, Patrick Henry, (Washington, D.C.: CSIS Press, July 2006)
European Defense Integration: Bridging the Gap Between Strategy and Capabilities, with Julianne Smith, Guy Ben-Ari, David Scruggs, and Kathleen McInnis, (Washington D.C.: CSIS Press, October 2005)
Beyond Goldwater-Nichols: Phase II Report, with Clark Murdock, (Washington, D.C.: CSIS Press, July 2005)
Beyond Goldwater-Nichols: Defense Reform for a New Strategic Era: Phase I Report, with Clark Murdock, Christopher Williams, and Kurt Campbell, (Washington, D.C.: CSIS Press, March 2004)
Nuclear Weapons After the Cold War (Harpercollins College Div, August 1992)

Hubby is dSoVA. Miliary family. She knows were way around the pentagon it would seem.
