1. Thank you David and Congratulations!

He did an outstanding job and his new position is well deserved. I commend our President-elect on his most excellent choice!

2. I agree. He deserves to be at the center of it all. I wish I could be there with him.

3. David Axelrod >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Karl Rove

David is an infinitely smarter, more decent, more trustworthy more country-first than the last senior advisor. I'm glad he will be going to the WH with President Obama.

6. it's going to be okay.

for all the reasons you state.

except the name Karl Rove doesn't deserve to be mentioned in Axelrod's mention.

There is a special place in hell for karl rove.

4. From wiki:

The Politico described Axelrod as 'soft-spoken' and 'mild-mannered' and it quoted one Obama aide in Chicago as saying, "Do you know how lucky we are that he is our Mark Penn?" Democratic consultant and former colleague Dan Fee said of Axelrod, "He's a calming presence." "He's not a screamer, like some of these guys," political advisor Bill Daley said of Axelrod in the Chicago Tribune. "He has a good sense of humor, so he's able to defuse things."
