Rahm Emanuel drops chairmanship of Obama campaign to help raise funds for Democratic campaigns

Rahm Emanuel drops honorary chairmanship of Obama campaign to help raise funds for Democratic campaigns, sources say ..Something IS going on here..

hicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a legendary fundraiser and political strategist before he won elected office, has dropped his honorary chairmanship of the Obama campaign to help raise big-dollar contributions so that Democrats can compete with what is emerging as a clear GOP fundraising advantage this election cycle, according to campaign and fundraising individuals.

Emanuel’s switch came as the Democratic National Convention was getting underway and at about the same time that Romney officials told reporters they raised $100 million for the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee in August. That would mark the third straight month the campaign announced that kind of haul.
