I've wondered the same myself. But you're right, if it was any sort of official setup there would be the risk that the scenarios would be parsed excessively by the press. That's too bad, because there would also be some real value in including lower-level career staff in this sort of game, giving them a better understanding of the way high-level decision-makers tick. I suppose we have (at least) four years or so before we need to worry about a transition again.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446063420625838576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095846283753113916.post-32519811443111070212009-03-08T09:45:00.000-07:002009-03-08T09:45:00.000-07:00Well put, Tim.

It could be done, for example, with a new administration in between election day and inauguration.<BR/><BR/>Some sort of informal arrangement would probably be best, so that the choice of scenarios didn't become a political statement.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
