WASHINGTON – Barack Obama's campaign has approached Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel about possibly serving as White House chief of staff, officials said Thursday as the marathon presidential race entered its final, frenzied stretch with a Democratic tilt.

The disclosure came as Republican John McCain, in need of a comeback, focused on pocketbook issues amid fresh signs of a recession. "Ohio is hurting now, people in Ohio are having trouble staying in their homes, keeping their jobs," he said as he set out on a two-day bus tour of the state.

Arrogant little bastard...

No kidding. I think there is a little matter of VOTERS deciding this election! Just because the MSM have practically crowned him king of the USA doesn't mean that he is!

Probably Hagel or Lugar! Hagel is already leaving the Senate and time for Lugar to follow him out the door.

leopard skin blankets and curtains

and a big plasma for the kid to watch the cartoon channel

this is just plain stupid, this man should not be allowed to be near the white house

I hope please he gets beat and soundly so he can’t appeal any decision but if we lose slightly I want McCain to challenge the results to get those voters frauds out of there

Did you know his brother Ari, is the guy that Jeremy Piven lampoons on Entourage, they don’t use his real last name but it is widely acknowledged that is who he is playing.

Ignore crap like this - nothing more than political mind games. I'm sure you've all read the thread about the Obama staffer from HillBuzz that Rush read today. Psy-ops, nothing more.

I was very skeptical about this race until last week. I now cautiously think we're going to win this. Stay calm.

Democrats, increasingly optimistic about regaining the White House, looked forward to padding their majorities in Congress, too, and then tackling the economy and bringing the war in Iraq to an end.

When you vote, remember this sentence. Also remember that the Democrats, with two impeachments (Scalia and Thomas) can have the success in packing the Court that initially eluded FDR.

Very disappointing. I was hoping he’d pick the pilot of farakhan’s mother ship for chief of staff. Or a zoo director, since animals will be in charge of the whitehouse.

“Arrogant little bastard...”

Nice start, but I must expand upon this...

BO is a clueless, arrogant, supercilious, mealy-mouthed, crack-headed, skinny-assed wannabe usurper of our great nation. What a CULL!!!!!

He is trying to find someone to blame his fu** ups on, when the time comes. He better keep his Chicago residence.

Rahm Emanuel is a Justice Dept investigation just waiting to happen, mark my words.

That presupposes that the Attorney General will have the guts to stand up to the anointed one, and not just be some milquetoast (see Reno, Janet).

CHicago politics. Getting off a bit ahead of the starting gun, though, aren’t they?
