I like Axelrod but idgaf about Rahm leaving tbh.

My political ambitions are to be in the room one day when Rahm is losing his shit. Probably will be the most entertaining thing ever.

HOLY. SHIT. This is the rats fleeing the sinking ship, guys.

Not really. Axelrod returning to Chicago to work on the 2012 campaign isn't a rat leaving a sinking ship. As for Rahm: Bolten and Card may have lasted forever, but before that it was more common for Chiefs of Staff to leave after 1-2 years than for them to stick around any longer. I think the longest any of Clinton's CoS's lasted was roughly 3 years, and that was Podesta who was chosen after re-election.

People got weird ideas from the West Wing. (It was a TV show guys, you can't switch the actors out as fast as RL.)

My waifu T_T

I don't care all that much about his politics to be very honest, but he's cute and he brings the lulz, so I'll be sad to see him go.

lol this is so true. Life /= The West Wing. Most admins lose almost all their key people twice in 4 years. It's funny, sometimes people want to go back to seeing their families and shit.
