Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, is strongly considering an offer from President-elect Barack Obama to serve as White House chief of staff, according to Democratic sources.
Obama's offer comes less than 24 hours after he scored a sweeping victory over John McCain -- racking up 349 electoral votes (and counting).
Even before Obama had secured the presidency, rumors that he would choose Emanuel ran rampant among the political chattering class.
