Mayor Emanuel?
White House chief of staff says he'd like the post if Daley doesn't run for re-election
He has been equivocal on the subject in the past, but on Monday night White House chief of staff and native Chicagoan Rahm Emanuel made no bones about it: He wants to be the mayor of Chicago.
"I hope Mayor [Richard] Daley seeks re-election. I will work and support him if he seeks re-election," Emanuel told Charlie Rose on the host's PBS talk show, in an interview broadcast Monday night. "But if Mayor Daley doesn't, one day I would like to run for mayor of the city of Chicago. That's always been an aspiration of mine, even when I was in the House of Representatives."
Emanuel who reached national significance under a triangulating Clinton, led, as congressman, the dems takeover of congress in 2006 by selecting MORE CENTRIST OR CONSERVATIVE dems nationwide.
The questions now ensue.
Why would Rahm Emanuel leave national significance to be be a mayor, a position which 3 months ago he denied all over the place he was interested in ..check a couple of links below?
