As President Obama travels to Illinois to lend a hand to the campaigns of U.S. Senate candidate Alexis Giannoulias and embattled Gov. Pat Quinn, he should stay focused on them and not his former chief of staff.
As Rahm Emanuel crisscrosses around Chicago, he is drawing lots of attention. But when the president comes to town, the attention needs to be lavished on the two races in November and not a local race in February.
Obama will likely avoid mentioning the Chicago race, but he is always likely to go off script. This is one time when the teleprompter is important. Quinn and Giannoulias are locked into tough races and need all the face time they can get.
