There's been rumors of him departing after the election.

There are a lot of Washington navel gazers who say Rumsfeld will not be around for round II ( Bush's second term). I think he will remain, but Rumsfeld is probably one of only a few who can honestly say: "Its's a tough job but somebody's got to do it", and actually mean it. He'd be much happier in the private sector (and richer too). For republicans a government job is a step down in pay grade, for most democrats its a step up.
