The Transition: The Temporary Workspace, More Names, And Rahm For CoS?

27 Oct 2008 01:41 pm

So where will Sen. McCain or Sen. Obama set up shop in Washington?

The GSA's transition space is in the old SEC building at 5th & D in Northwest, near Judiciary Square.

....

Add to the list of Democrats formally assisting Barack Obama with transition planning: Todd Stern, deputy to John Podesta on the transition. He's a partner at Wilmer Hale, and was staff secretary in the Clinton adminstration, and then counsel to Larry Summers at Treasury.

...

The New York Times and the Washington Post both floated Rep. Rahm Emanuel's name for chief of staff.  This isn't mere rumor; associates say that Emanual is seriously in the running for the post, assuming he wants it, assuming Obama can convince him to take it, if Obama decides that Rahm would do it.
