Rahm Emanuel Mulling Obama Job Offer
Chris Cillizza, The Fix
from WashPost
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the fourth ranking Democrat in the House, is strongly considering an offer from President-elect Barack Obama to serve as White House chief of staff, according to Democratic sources.
Obama's offer comes less than 24 hours after he scored a sweeping victory over John McCain -- racking up 349 electoral votes (and counting).
Even before Obama had secured the presidency, rumors that he would choose Emanuel ran rampant among the political chattering class.
Emanuel is widely seen as one of the rising stars within the Democratic Party -- elected to a Chicago-area seat in 2002 and the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the 2006 election in which he led his party back to the majority.
