Rahm Emanuel rolled to victory in Chicago yesterday, crushing all opposition by outworking, outsmarting and outraising his opposition.

Rahm will not, in my opinion, govern as many expect. He will prove to be more unconventional than many currently believe. And he will be at work around the clock, driving his agenda relentlessly. David Axelrod showed up at his victory party, extolling the virtues of Chicago’s nine and a half fingered Mayor. Read the Politico story here.
