Chicago's new mayor minds political P's and Q's

LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is poised to become the new president of the US Conference of Mayors.? But there was a potential cloud over his inauguration weekend: the new mayor of Chicago, former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.?

During the opening press conference here in Baltimore, Villaraigosa was center stage, but Emanuel was in the front line of mayors off to the side.? And more than a few cameras were snapping his picture.

Villaraigosa publicly thanked the new mayor for endorsing his transportation proposal.? Again the cameras snapped.

But immediately after the press conference, Mayor Emanuel quietly drifted away, leaving Villaraigosa center stage, surrounded by fellow mayors and reporters.

It will be interesting to see whether that deference lasts?in the coming year.
