Mass. Dems’ crowning achievement - BostonHerald.com

Local Democrats drooling over sugarplum federal posts around New England already have begun whispering their Christmas wishes to a quiet group of local kingmakers who have President-elect Barack Obama’s ear.

“I have a list that’s bigger than Santa Claus, and I know exactly who’s been naughty and nice,” joked Alan Solomont, a political power broker who was a big Bay State fund-raiser for Obama.

Solomont, who’s worked for Democrats on six presidential campaigns, confirmed he’s chatted with Obama staffers about the highly sought-after positions, which begin at a generous $115,000 a year.

Cool. Maybe when Rahm Emanuel is done with pretending he didn’t discuss Rod Blagojevich’s attempt to sell a Senate seat with him, he can come to New England and get busy selling these “highly sought-after positions” to the highest bidders.
