Wow, that's another prediction gone right for me. I'm thinking I oughta go pick some lotto numbers. ;-)
Seriously though this is huge, but not unexpected. More important is that it is overall the right thing to do for all parties involved. The Dems get him out like we wanted and that'll help clean up the Pentagon. The White House doesn't look weak because they stood by him hard and fast and it's clear that he is leaving because he feels it's the right thing to do for the party not because the administration backed down. And the Repubs get to save a little face by losing a divisive, contraversial figure and put on a more moderate face by getting a more middle of road man (or woman) in the Pentagon.
