Amid mounting signs that Rahm Emanuel will leave the White House to run for mayor in Chicago, Democratic insiders say President Barack Obama is likely to choose a new chief of staff who’s already in his orbit but has experience with previous administrations.
The goal: to keep a comfort level for the president while simultaneously bringing in an outside perspective that would help dilute the insularity of the current West Wing.
Rahm is by far my least favorite person in this administration. Seeing him hit the trails would be a major win for the Obama presidency.
Maybe Rahm will announce this week he is taking a new job for the Jewish new year?
