Emanuel is a hot potato and Obama isn't even waiting for a bus to pull up to throw him under.
Someone in Chicago is talking big time. My guess is that it's Tony the R, Obama's good fairy who's undoubtedly tired of his moving parts rusting away after many months in Club Fed.
Rahm isn't running for mayor....that's just the cover Obama is granting him for face-saving purposes.
I'm in a Chicago suburb at the moment....it's safe plus a great catbird seat to watch the goings-on. Da Mare dropping out, Blago and the whole city pitted against Fitz, the imminent arrival of the ousted Chief-of-Staph, and O'Bama's Chicago squeeze, Oprah, slowly closing down her show on her way to obscurity.......what a delicious menu to pick from in the coming weeks.

“Rahm isn’t running for mayor....that’s just the cover Obama is granting him for face-saving purposes.”
The Boyz over at Hillbuzz have written several articles saying that Rahm couldn’t win the Mayoral race that people in Chicago don’t like him at all.
Here’s their latest:
The absurdity of Rahm Emanuel becoming Mayor of Chicago
Excerpt:
The media’s reporting that Rahm Emanuel will be leaving the White House by Friday of this week — and the way they put it, Emanuel’s just going to move all his stuff right into Mayor Daley’s office, no election required, as the media’s declared him to be Chicago’s next Mayor.
We just don’t see this happening, as we’ve talked about consistently on this site for some time.
People hate Rahm Emanuel in Chicago, because Rahm Emanuel is a foul-mouthed, mean-spirited, vindictive, jacka$$.
