But, on the purely political side, President Obama may well miss the advice of David Axelrod, unless Ax's leaving is to become part of starting the Obama 2012 team. Both are leaving the White House as Obama continues to shake up staff.
With a new chief of staff rumored to be coming in too, and one with which, if it is William Daley, to the best of my knowledge, Obama doesn't have extreme closeness, there's going to be some management, power structure, and other voids that open up.
Plus, if Gene Sperling is the man to replace Larry Summers as economic adviser, there's "message" issues too ... especially messages, or the lack thereof, to the purer progressives at whom both Gibbs and Rahm Emanuel liked to sneer. Progressives, don't hold your breath.
