Rahm Bomb

Since it appears Governor Blagojevich had contact with someone representing Barack Obama, there's intense speculation as to who it was. Many feel it was Rahm Emanuel, who knew Blago, and had even taken over his House seat.

From the Governor's alleged reaction, it seems likely Obama's side wasn't playing ball. But that it's taken so long for them to reveal the connection, some feel Emanuel will be tainted by the scandal, and may not be able to serve as Chief Of Staff.

Does this make sense? I suppose it depends on exactly what they discussed, but even taking into account a Caesar's wife argument, I don't think we should make too much of this yet.

Some of the conversations between Blagojevich and Emanuel supposedly took place after the federal wiretaps were put in place, so it's possible that something said between them might be a problem.

But all things considered, I agree that there's probably nothing here other than politics as usual.
