Oddly enough I am comforted by the choice of Emanuel. He is a partisan warrior without a doubt, but he is no left wing ideologue. It shows that Obama may plan to govern from the center DLC style. If that is the case then he needs a strong hatchet man to keep the moveon lunatic left in check. Rahm may be the right guy for that.
