Chicago Mayor Richard Daley said today that he won't run for re-election in 2011. But wait, the blogosphere remembered, doesn't Rahm Emanuel want that job? DRUDGE SIRENS! "I would like to run for the mayor of the city of Chicago." That is something Rahm told Charlie Rose one time! And then Chris Cillizza called up the guy who was at the White House fixing the Obama kids' swing set today: "A senior Obama Administration official said Emanuel is likely to run for the post. 'I'd be shocked if he doesn't run,' the official said." Now we can move on to guessing who will fill Rahm's spot at the White House, and then we can speculate who will fill that person's job, etc. etc. etc.
I'll be saving empty boxes for Rahm's move back to the Hog Butcher for the World. Oprah could a better job than he did.
Maybe now Obama can hire someone who will actually do a good job?
this too is good news for republicans.
seriously, i heard that on the radio today.
NPR? CHICAGO NPR in fact?
