Emanuel's bid for mayor? – 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, Illinois, 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. With his bigger-than-life personality, Emanuel – known to some as Rahmbo – has aggressively been involved with Obama's agenda. A source close to Emanuel says that Deputy Chief of Staff Pete Rouse is the favorite to take over as chief of staff on a temporary basis in order to give President Obama more time to find a long-term replacement for Emanuel.

Anyone want to bet. If he loses the election for Mayor. He's right back at the White House, Right back as Chief of Staff, or some other position,right behind Obama. So close that if Obama suddenly turns right he gets a broken nose
No. He screwed up like Colin Powel and was forced to a lesser assignment where his limited skills could still be exploited. You all know what Powel does for a living now, right? if i spelled his name wrong bite me
