The Rahm era begins Jonathan Martin adds a telling scene to our Rahm story: ...Indeed, the unusual leaks from Obama’s expanding camp are part of one of Emanuel’s greatest assets: He talks to everyone. Emanuel knows more than most in Washington about what’s happening in both parties and in the media, because he’s in constant touch with all sides. And when Smith and Harris say everyone, they mean everyone. Just tonight, for example, I caught up with some Hill staffers at House-side watering hole. Also there was Carl Hulse, The New York Times' crack congressional reporter. Before I arrived, Emanuel had called Hulse on his cell phone. Being an unseasonably warm night for November in Washington, the gang was outside the bar together when Hulse took the call. The Timesman cracked to Emanuel that he was surrounded by a group of Republican Hill staffers. So what did the soon-to-be chief of staff to the next Democratic president do? He asked to talk to them. Hulse passed the phone to one senior House GOP aide, and the two had a nice chat, with Emanuel recounting how he had a good conversation with the aide's boss today. Just Rahm being Rahm. politico.com

Right on the very first line, again with Sarah Palin... okay, I'll ready the article, but you couldn't help but get some dig in about Sarah Palin...<g> ___________ Palin now represents a constituency in the GOP. She is not going away. May conservatives think her brand will keep the GOP out of power. It should not be ignored. It can be debated, but not ignored. Frum is a noted conservative and he said nothing about clothes....just about Palin's potential path to power in the party. (note that alliteration!).
