Obama's choice of Emanuel shows switch in tone

AP - Barack Obama is signaling a shift in tactics and temperament as he moves from candidate to president-elect, picking sharp-elbowed Washington insiders for top posts. His choice Thursday for White House chief of staff - Rahm Emanuel, a fiery partisan who doesn't mind breaking glass and hurting feelings - is a significant departure from the soft-spoken, low-key aides that "No-Drama Obama" has surrounded himself with during his campaign.
Switch in tone? Judging by the speed at which he was called I wonder if this wasn't part of the Clinton deal. Remember many are still considering that Hillary still is yet to gain something from bowing out to Obama.
