AP: Rahm to Resign on Friday

President Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel will resign from his post tomorrow and begin campaigning to be mayor of Chicago on Monday, the Associated Press reprorts, citing two people close to Emanuel.

The move would be no surprise, and should set off a wave of speculation about his potential replacement. The question is whether Obama will choose somebody further to the left, to assauge the concerns of liberals who perceive the Obama administration as too moderate, in no small part due to the influence of Emanuel.

Rahm will have a little problem, he no longer has a residence in Chicago. Look for the challengers
file a lawsuit over this and for the mud to be thrown bigtime. The only way he can stem the lawsuits is to dig up the dirt, but after all, that is the Chicago Way.

Chicago is a crisis Rahm can't afford to waste.

I heard it was because the showers are more open in the city governments gym.
