If Gonzales is replaced by Homeland Insecurity head Michael Chertoff, CNN's sources say that DHS will be headed up by Clay Johnson III, the Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget.

Johnson, who has no homeland security experience, is a professional Bush loyalist. While Johnson may have familiarity with some aspects of DHS's budget, he appears to have no experience in the many responsibilities of the department, including immigration, air travel security, disaster response, and other aspects of our nation's homeland defense.
