Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel "is said by well-connected Democrats to be considering the idea of running for president if Hillary Clinton opts out of the 2016 race," Lloyd Grove reports.
"The 53-year-old Emanuel, who is busy raising money for his 2015 reelection campaign in the Windy City, has had discussions both over the phone and face to face in the past month with Democratic Party donors and fundraisers about a possible White House run, according to sources."
He's not very popular in Chicago, so it's hard to see how he runs for anything nationally.
Still, it would be interesting to see Andrew Cuomo and Rahm Emanuel running against each other in the primaries.
They're two very similar men.
They're both bullies.
They're both thin-skinned when people retaliate against them.
They're both beholden to the hedge fundies and Wall Street.
And they're both jerks with plenty of enemies.
Seems like a primary match made in Chris Matthews' heaven.
