Reporting from Washington
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said Tuesday he was “surprised” by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's decision not to seek reelection but offered no hint as to whether he might be a candidate to succeed him.
“While Mayor Daley surprised me today with his decision to not run for reelection, I have never been surprised by his leadership, dedication and tireless work on behalf of the city and the people of Chicago,” Emanuel said in an e-mailed statement Tuesday afternoon.
