I suppose we'll see what happens. Personally I find Condi to be a less than stellar selection, but who knows.
It would appear that this is a trend by the President to select more ideological and personally loyal cabinet ministers. While he does have the right to do this, I wonder how wise it is to dismiss someone like Powell that offered a different view than the Rumsfeld/Cheney group.
I don't blame Powell for resigning. Doing so in the middle of the first term would have killed his political career, so I understand why he waited (probably not because he was a "good soldier", that was the UN speech).
