Rahm Emanuel
Obama's pick of Rahm Emanuel says a couple of things. First, Obama has chosen someone who can get things done in Congress. He's not going to be Nancy Pelosi's bitch.
Second, Emanuel is an S.O.B. While that's certainly something one might want in that position Republicans need to remember he's mostly an S.O.B. when it comes to dealing with Republicans. Unless you enjoy the "respect" that people like Bob Dole earned and Newt Gingrich desired Republicans will do well to avoid becoming ensnared in Emanuel's deals.
