President Barack Obama’s top adviser David Axelrod speaks to the media before addressing a fundraising breakfast at Misericordia Home, the center where his daughter with developmental disabilities lives, Monday, Jan. 25, 2010, in Chicago. Axelrod said both the President and the Democratic Party will work hard to keep Obama’s old Senate seat, and it’s wrong to think that what happened in Massachusetts will happen around the country or in Illinois. A Republican won the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s seat in a special election last week. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)
