As the White House gears up for the midterm elections, talk is turning to which key players may look to depart after Nov. 2.由于白宫积极准备中期选举，谈话是转向的关键球员离开后可能看11月2日。 One of the earliest to exit could be the National Security Adviser, Jim Jones.其中一个可能是最早退出的国家安全顾问琼斯。 Obama's pick of a retired Marine general with Republican ties for the job was hailed as a shrewd choice.奥巴马的一名退休海军陆战队上将选择与共和党的工作关系，被誉为精明的选择。 But from the start, Jones has been an awkward fit — laconic in style and less close to the President personally than some more junior aides.但是，从一开始，琼斯一直是尴尬的配合 - 简洁的风格，少接近总统亲自比一些较初级的助手。 With much of the sleeves-rolled coordinating work handled by his deputy, Tom Donilon, Jones has become a kind of foreign policy adviser and emissary for the President, making frequent trips abroad to consult with allies. (See why Jones' recent Jewish joke was no laughing matter.)与许多盟国的袖子卷制与协商处理的协调工作由他的副手，汤姆多尼伦，琼斯使者已成为一种外交政策顾问，并为总统，使经常出国旅行。 （见为什么琼斯最近犹太笑话不是开玩笑的。）

Who might succeed Jones?谁可能接替琼斯？ Donilon would be a natural choice, though his background is as much in politics as foreign policy.多尼伦将是一个自然的选择，虽然他的背景是一样的政治作为外交政策。 Hillary Clinton's State Department deputy, James Steinberg, was an original candidate for the job and already served as National Security Council deputy under Bill Clinton.希拉里克林顿的国务院副，斯坦伯格，是原来的工作，并已作为候选国安会副根据克林顿担任。 Recently, another candidate has surfaced: General James Cartwright, the well-regarded vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who, like Jones, is also a Marine.最近，另一名候选人已浮出水面：上将詹姆斯卡特赖特了参谋长联席会议广泛关注的副董事长谁像琼斯，也是一个海洋。 (Known to friends as "Hoss," Cartwright has reportedly impressed Obama in face-to-face meetings.) (Comment on this story.) （称为“卡特赖特朋友，”奥斯，据报道，奥巴马留下深刻印象的面对面的会议。） （故事评论。）

A Jones departure might be just part of a shake-up for Obama's national-security team this fall. A琼斯离开可能只是一摇，为奥巴马的国家安全小组于今年秋季开始的一部分。 Defense Secretary Robert Gates has made no secret of his longing to leave Washington and has already accepted at least one Obama entreaty to stick around.国防部长罗伯特盖茨公开表示，他渴望秘密离开华盛顿，并已接受至少1奥巴马恳求留下来。 A Gates exit would raise even more interesting casting questions — including the real possibility that Obama might have a splashy replacement in mind: Hillary Clinton.盖茨退出会引起更有趣的现实可能性，包括铸造，奥巴马可能在头脑引人注意的更换：希拉里克林顿的问题 - 。
