Joe Sinsheimer says Rahm Emanuel won't settle the presidential primary.
In a Newsweek article this week, the Democratic political consultant and friend of Emanuel's says that Emanuel is too close to Barack Obama's campaign manager, David Axelrod.
He also says that the Clinton's don't trust Emanuel, especially after Hillary Clinton tried to get him fired as a White House aide in 1993.
Sinsheimer says that Emanuel may have selfish reasons for wanting to stay uninvolved and avoid playing the role of party elder. "Rahm has his own ambitions," says Sinsheimer. If he runs for Speaker in four or six years, "why does he want to have 5, 10, 15 people on one side of this chasm or another mad at him over something?"
