Just about every story written about Rahm Emanuel since Barack Obama selected him to serve as White House chief of staff has described him as the tough Chicago operative who became the consummate Washington insider. But how sensitive will the bulldog at Mr. Obama’s gate be to New York interests?

Nobody can doubt that the Republicans in the Senate will obstruct as soon as that seems politically safe. Right-wing pundits, from Rush Limbaugh to the Wall Street Journal editorial page are already egging them on furiously. But is there enough muscle behind that filibuster threat to block Mr. Obama’s mandate?

Something funny happened last week: A liberal Democrat from Chicago, running on a ticket with a liberal from Delaware, won the White House by a comfortable margin. And while Barack Obama did actually win three states in the South, his triumph should do away with the notion that a “Southern strategy” is essential to the Democratic Party’s long-term viability at the presidential level.

Day One Cartoon
That Random Cartoonist is Cute and the Giant is almost as SCARY as Biden!!!!!!
Bigger is Better
Rob, any chance you can post your cartoon a little bigger? The pop-up is just about 10% bigger than the unreadable thumbnail.
Thanks in advance and don't forget about Cindy Sheehan & the anti-war protesters outside and the towering proliferation of corporate money on the inside (which is why the Dems said it was OK for AT&T to break the 4th Amendment).
Good stuff Rob! It'd be nice
Good stuff Rob! It'd be nice if you could make it a little bigger next time.
Wonderful, insightful and
Wonderful, insightful and funny.
embiggen it if you can
Rob, great stuff. You've captured the glamor and the tedium and the little annoyances. And how you can work under those conditions is beyond me. But keep it up anyhow.
