Top Obama Adviser Valerie Jarrettis headed to the White House:

Two Democratic sources close to President-elect Barack Obama tell CNN that top adviser Valerie Jarrett will not be appointed to replace him in the U.S. Senate.

"While he (Obama) thinks she would be a good senator, he wants her in the White House," one top Obama advisor told CNN Monday.

This is great news for Jan Schakowsky and for Barack Obama who gets a loyal and valuable adviser in the White House.
