No. The CW seems to be that Congress, on a bipartisan basis, hold Wolfowitz in even lower regard than they do Rumsfeld, if that's possible.
Usually the No. 2 guy at defense is the details man, and the Secretary is the vision guy -- so if the Secretary has to go, promoting No. 2 will ensure competency, at least for an interim period. It's because those roles are reversed here that Rumsfeld has whatever job security exists.
