Powell and Rice haven't stepped down. I suspect Powell will still be
around, perhaps as DefSec if Rumsfeld "steps down".


Nevertheless, it's common to have a large turnover within the Presidents
cabinet after an election.


After his '96 election, Clinton changed almost 60% of his Cabinet,
including:

Defense Secretary
Secretary of State
Secretary of Commerce (actually, he had the Sec of Commerce killed in
April of '96)
Secretary of Labor
Secretary of HUD
Secretary of Transportation.
Secretary of Energy
Secretary of Veterans Affairs



Clinton also had 3 different Secretaries of Treasury, but didn't change
*immediately* following the '96 election.


History shows that you can't read anything important into Cabinet changes.

Oops...forgot to mention:

Clinton also changed his NSA after the '96 election...and went through 4
different Chiefs of Staff
