Illinois congressman Rahm Emanuel has accepted the position of White House chief of staff in President-elect Barack Obama's future administration, Democratic officials confirmed Thursday.

The position won't be entirely new for Emanuel, who has already served as a political and policy aide in the Clinton White House.

I expect we will see the positions start filling in quickly.

Emanuel is a very interesting character. In 1991, he left the Clinton campaign to come to the defence of Israel as a volunteer for the military during the Gulf War.

He can be hyperpartisan and I can remember hearing word of him making an Animal House-like speech where he listed Clinton's enemies and shouted out "Dead!" for each.

The job he has now is a gatekeeper and protector but he certainly won't be able to talk to a person like Tony Blair like has in the past and get away with it.

Clinton to Secretary of State?

Two Democratic officials say Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is among the candidates President-elect Barack Obama is considering for secretary of state.

The New York senator, who campaigned hard against Obama for the Democratic nomination, was rumoured to be a contender for the job last week.
