Emanuel Pushed Jarrett for Senate
The Chicago Sun Times reports that Rahm Emanuel was pushing for Obama's successor in the U.S. Senate just days after the Nov. 4 election.
Emanuel privately urged Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration "to appoint Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, and the Sun-Times learned Tuesday that he also pressed that it be done by a certain deadline."
Nonetheless, Emanuel's discussions "do not indicate he was involved in dealmaking with the governor."
