Political Punch:
ABC News has learned that President-elect Obama has offered the White House chief of staff job to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.
Emanuel, a knowledgeable source tells ABC News, has not yet given his answer. The sharp-tongued, sharp-elbowed, keenly intelligent veteran of the Clinton White House is said to have ambitions to some day be Speaker of the House. But he also has a keen sense of "duty."
Update: Emanuel accepted the position.
According to MSNBC, a senior adviser to Barack Obama has confirmed that Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) has accepted the chief of staff position for Obama’s new administration.

Oh well, guess he needed his own pit bull...
No shock here.
Will Jesse Jackson Jr. get his Senate seat?
Then there will be two more replacements needed for Congress (Jackson's and Emanuel's) and I am sure that won't be the end of home grown politicians going to DC.
Oh, rumor has it we will be getting another US Attorney.
Rahm gives me the creeps.
Can we send the Toddler to Alaska????
Kitty,
I would help him pack! He and Sarah would be wonderful together!
