 BREAKING: Emanuel all but certain to run for Chicago mayor, sources say
   By:
CNN Chief National Correspondent John King

(CNN) – Three Democratic sources close to Rahm Emanuel tell CNN that the White House chief of staff informed senior colleagues he is all but certain to run for mayor of Chicago, and will leave the White House to take the final exploratory steps.

Close associates are already building a campaign team according to sources.

An announcement by Emanuel is expected to be scheduled for Friday, sources said.

One of the sources, a prominent Democrat close to the White House chief of staff, told CNN, "We see nothing that will stop a run. But you don't announce a campaign for mayor of Chicago in Washington, D.C. You leave and go home and finish your business there."

The second source said Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg's research of a possible mayoral run for Emanuel was "very positive. He has some obvious things to deal with, but it was very encouraging."


The evacuation is on...

I dunno.  He's not polling all that well.  Barely double digits.  If it all blows up in his face, can he go back to the ballet?

One of the pundits on Fox & Friends this morning was saying that he just moved his family here for the start of this school year, and he'd have to uproot them and move them all back . . . and would he want to do that again?

I don't know what's the signal here.  I do think that most of them read the tea leaves rather well, and don't want to be hamstrung in '11 and '12, nor do they want to be associated with a huge loss in November of '12.

Why not--they created it, they should have to deal with it.

Well, as Lord Zero's Chief of Staff, Emanuel has pretty much solidified the Republican party against Zero's policies, and he's alienated virtually everybody else within the Beltway.

Good job, Rahm. Now go home and **** up Chicago some more. Daly hasn't completely sent the city down the tubes, so the rest of it is up to you.
