RAHM EMANUEL'S REPLACEMENT

Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) has been named head of the DCCC (if that doesn't ring a bell, skip this post). He's replacing Rahm Emanuel (and no doubt will have to repaint, as well as reupholster, every surface in sight in the DCCC office).

Chris Van Hollen's claim to fame was beating a very popular (and moderate) Republican woman, Connie Morella.

Number One question: Does Chris Van Hollen hate Howard Dean?
