CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) - A source with the Obama Transition team tells CNN Senior Political Correspondent Candy Crowley that a plan to name David Axelrod a Senior Adviser to the incoming President is "in the works."
Axelrod was the Obama presidential campaign's chief strategist, and a top adviser to Obama during his run for the Senate in 2004.

It appears BO is recycling Clinton crooks (Rom Emanuel) and real "change" would be send these crooks to prison.
David Axelrod is the man. Some people say that he is the Karl Rowe of the democratic party, but the truth is that they both cannot be further apart. This is not only true in terms of their political phisophy but also in style. He is calm, collective, discipline, and no-drama personality.
He will be a great Senior Advisor if named...
Hillary supporters who went into mourning got therapy and now seem to be on the mend. What can we now do for these whiners who are intent on inflicting misery on themselves for the next four years? Obama has not even been inaugurated and the line for the shrink's office seems to be out the door and around the corner. Help!
We've got Emmanuel Chief of Staff; Gibbs as press sec; Alexrod as senior advisor. Sounds like a power hitting team so far to me.
well deserved .......this is the man instrumental to the political career of President Obama.well done Barack
All these Obama haters get to feel the pain the rest of had to suffer under George Bush. However, I hope they come around and support President Obama but if not they can continue to be miserable as long as they want to. Freedom of speech is great as long as it doesn't threaten or harm someone and Obama haters have every right to speak their ignorance.
David Axelrod is a true political strategist of a lifetime.
"CNN tell us about these" guess what the things you listed aren't news and they aren't things that are under, in or close to be President Elect Obama's responsibility. He is not head of immergration, he does not live in CA; you get where I'm going with this. You're being extermely unreasonsable.
He's smart and knows how to get things done.
I'm liking this administration more and more every day and they haven't even started yet!
Attention all Republicans posting on CNN – I haven't stopped laughing!
You are so biased and full of hate it might do you good to go to the doctor, have your blood pressure checked and and get an EKG. If not, you won't be around in four years to vote. You will drop dead from a stroke or heart attack. Seriously, you need help.
Yes, absolutely ! Axelrod a brilliant choice !
HALLELUJAH!!
WHAT A SMART PRESIDENT AND A SMART MOVE! Gibbs as Press Secretary, Axelrod as Senior Advisor; add Rice (Not Condi) and life will be heaven on earth! wow again! SMART!!!!
WOW... What a CHANGE, already 🙂
Young Good Looking Brilliant Trustful people around the next President!
GO OBAMA TEAM, YOU ARE THE BEST AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
@"Leo" re: "True Americans":
That dog won't hunt.
"True Americans"? Please. They showed up to vote and voted their conscience. Both sides. Stop with the hate-filled garbage. We don't all have to agree, we're still Americans – isn't that why so many of our soldiers fought and died, so that we could have the right to disagree?
Nothing looks less patriotic to me than this "True Americans" crap.
i swear you Obama hatters should really get over it!! I mean it's laughable. McCain lost and it's time to move on!!! JEEZ!!
The man hasn't even took the oath of Office and y'all are whinning like he been in there for four years already!!! IDIOTS!!!
Obama has been president-elect for less than 48 hours and he's already doing an awesome job. I am so excited about the future of this country.
Oh YES...And David Plouffe too! I used to get emails from him everyday and let me tell you that I will miss that!
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
Yes we can.... definetely not sarah palin
Good move. I am loving his team so far.
And rightfully so. Axelrod's the main reason for the Obama win.
I'm very happy with all the names I'm hearing. Axelrod has been brilliant and he is a good pick.
Excellent choice. David Axelrod is the brain behind the brain. He has conducted an excellent campaign in 2004 for then Senator Obama and I believe he will be a brilliant power force behind the New President. America moves forward!
