Gates to Stay?

Does President-elect Obama read this blog, too?!? AM and Charlie are fairly sure that no one loves the SecDef like they do.

Friend-of-the-blog Yochi Dreazen reports:

President-elect Barack Obama is leaning toward asking Defense Secretary Robert Gates to remain in his position for at least a year, according to two Obama advisers. A senior Pentagon official said Mr. Gates would likely accept the offer if it is made.
