Politico is reporting that Rahm Emanuel has accepted the position of White House Chief of Staff in President-elect Obama’s Administration. The Illinois congressman, best known for being one of the architects of the 2006 Democratic takeover of Congress, has been dubbed “Rahmbo” by the media for the way he combines the high-energy style of his brother, Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, with the Windy City machine politics of Chicago mayor and dynast Richard M. Daley.

Back in May, Congressman Emanuel spoke with Ryan Lizza at the annual New Yorker Conference about the Democratic primaries, Hillary Clinton’s future, and—most notably, given today’s news—what the first hundred days of the Obama Administration might look like.
