Potomac Flacks: Searching for New Pentagon Spokesperson

November 26, 2008

Searching for New Pentagon Spokesperson

With the almost definite appointment of Sec. Gates staying on at the Pentagon, what does this mean for the spokesperson role? Steve Field at D-Ring takes a guess at what we can expect at the Pentagon.

Since Gates will probably stay on for six months to year, he believes that Geoff Morrell will also stay on during that time. But, who is going to take over after that?

Steve takes a guess that it could one of the following people: Stephanie Cutter, Linda Douglass, Blake Zeff, Tara Andringa, Dave Helfert, Price Floyd, Shannon O'Reilly, H. Andrew Schwartz and Kris Osborn.

Who do you think would be a good pick? (D-Ring)
