Emanuel decision all but made

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

All signs point to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel running for mayor of Chicago.

Emanuel's decision is all but made -- he still has some family matters to consider -- but if his trajectory holds, watch for him to step down from his White House perch sometime in October. It will be a quick transition for Emanuel -- from dealing with an Afghanistan war to street repairs on Ardmore, Archer and Aberdeen.
