New York's City Hall News reports that President Obama's request that Steve Israel stand down from a New York Senate primary was accompanied by blunter words from Rahm:
According to several sources familiar with the conversation, the White House chief of staff made it very clear to Israel that the administration didn't want him to run and that they would use their considerable political might to ensure his defeat if he did.
Among other things, Emanuel reportedly told Israel that President Obama himself would campaign against Israel throughout the black neighborhoods of New York City if Israel went forward with his primary campaign. - Politico
