Saying yes to campaign chair would take Daley off Gore's short list for Veep, but frankly, so would saying no. So on July 15, Daley will give up his elegant office across from the White House with its Teddy Roosevelt portrait, massive fireplace in use much of the year and staff of 30,000 watching everything from the weather to the census...
