It appears Barack Obama's campaign is starting to approach individuals to work in his Presidential administration.  The campaign is reportedly considering Illinois Representative Rahm Emanuel for Chief of Staff.  Being offered a position of that magnitude is certainly an honor, but if I were Rahm Emanuel, I wouldn't plan on leaving the House.  The last time I checked, the polls were rather eratic, and many of them have shown the race tightening to a difference of just 2 or 3 points.  Throw in the Bradley Effect, and I think we are going to see a very close election.  I don't expect to hear any concession speeches on election night, so talk about who is going to work in the next administration is rather premature.
