The article also mentions that some political appointees stay on for a couple weeks or months into a new administration until new people are brought into the posts. The primary difference in this case is that all of them will be replaced come January 20th. The fact that they will be replaced is routine, the fact that the Obama team seems to plan on having people in place day 1 is the unusual part. I would think that it speaks to the fact that the transition team is doing rather more upfront work than has been the case in the past rather than some political retribution angle, but newspapers like conflict even if they have to make it up.
"Obama cleans house!" is more of a headline than "Team performs function faster than normal and competently".
