Although no final decision has been made because of family considerations, ABC News has learned that White House officials are preparing for Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to announce on Friday -- as Congress adjourns for recess -- that he is leaving his post to explore a run for mayor of Chicago.

1. Good riddance.

See ya, Rahm! :hi:

2. Don't let the door and all that. Bye! n/t

3. I predict, with a probability of about 80%, that whoever

replaces Rahm Emanuel will be roundly criticized here, immediately upon the announcement of his or her name.

We shall see...

4. Is it ok if we hope the president chooses

a democrat who doesn't thumb his nose at the base this time?

5. I don't get to decide what is OK and what is not.

I made a prediction. We'll see what happens.

6. I suspect that you are right.

Rahm is a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. Without a major shift in ideology shakeups in the cabinet will result in more of the same. Rahm's departure is not the panacea some here envision.
