Another thing that strikes me about Obama's transition.... (that's a heck of a bloggy way to start a paragraph)... is how focused it is on process, rather than on policy.
Yes -- there are policy teams galore being put together, but the bulk of work is focused on the selection of personnel and the staffing and management of the White House. And more importantly, the priorities of the transition team seem to be process-oriented, rather than policy oriented.
Going back to an earlier thought, Obama seems to understand that the way he manages the White House during the first few week is absolutely vital to the smooth functioning of his administration after that.
