White House chief of staff Bill Daley’s abrupt decision to resign his office caught official Washington by surprise as it came just a year after he was named to the job. Obama praised Daley in announcing his departure, casting him as someone willing to make tough decision on the fly. “Chicago is only a phone call away,” Obama said, adding that he would continue to seek Daley’s counsel in the coming months. (And Daley is expected to serve as a co-chairman of Obama’s re-election campaign .) Read full article > >

The rapidly shifting landscape in the GOP presidential race has set off a scramble for big donors among Mitt Romney and other established candidates, each of them rushing to secure high-dollar commitments in an attempt to fend off emerging rivals, according to senior campaign officials and fundraisers. The moves follow the departure of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and other potential contenders with strong ties to GOP powerbrokers, who are now casting about for new candidates to support. Operatives for Romney , the presumptive front-runner, and declared candidate Tim Pawlenty have been busy contacting major Daniels supporters and other uncommitted donors in recent days in hopes of securing crucial financial commitments for the months ahead, according to sources close to the talks.

When it comes to the effective running of the U.S. intelligence community, which is more important: personalities or structure?

Leon Panetta has been nominated to move from CIA director to secretary of defense, and David Petraeus has been nominated to shed his general’s uniform and become CIA director.

But to Daniels’s supporters this “tease” may leave a bad taste in their mouths (as Daniels conceded in his letter to supporters). In any event, his departure confirms that he is, bluntly speaking, an odd duck. Read full article > >
