US News and World Report has this report about Congressman Rahm Emanuel, the architect of the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives:

Seriously, folks, is it great being Rep. Rahm Emanuel or what? Best known for working to get Democrats back in control of the House in 2006 and a good bet to be speaker one day, the Chicagoan is the subject of a book and now two men’s fashion magazines. “It’s a great time to be with him,” says one associate. “He’s the man.” And, say friends, he’s arguably the most important and influential former aide to Bill Clinton in Washington. Consider: Emanuel’s being heralded in The Thumpin ‘ , a book that explores how the lawmaker won back the House. And this month, GQ puts him 17th in its list of the 50 most important people in Washington. And Esquire names him to its best-dressed list.
