"Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, a former senior adviser in the Clinton administration, was named on Sunday as the new chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The appointment by the minority leader, Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, means Mr. Emanuel will direct the Democrats' effort to recapture the House in the 2006 midterm elections, after they suffered losses in both the House and Senate last November."
'Some people argue about old Democrats and new Democrats,' Mr. Emanuel said in explaining his philosophy. 'I'm a Vince Lombardi Democrat. Winning is everything.'"
Which isn't exactly what Vince said...
Hey, we'll take Packer fans everywhere we can get after yesterday.
But Rahm may have to spend a little extra time shoring up his Chicago district, as some of his constituents might not like his choice of football coaches.
