It is an excellent choice. Rahm manages well, gets folks motivated and to work hard, while still liking him, and he's a pragmatist. His job in Congress was to gain seats in Congress. His job for Obama will be to make him an effective president.
By the way, he fought like hell with the left wing of his party to pick nominees that were more conservative in more conservative districts, so that they were a better fit, even if not true blues for the left agenda. He used his money machine to tank and/or deflect progressive caucus type liberals from gaining the nomination in a fair number of seats. Rahm wanted blue dogs.
