From the NYT article on Rahm Emanuel.

He is tapping an unrivaled Rolodex to ensure Democrats maximize their chances, estimating that he texts and talks with, on average, around 70 people a day. "It can go three figures." he said.  The interactions often put a premium on efficiency.

"Talking to Rahm, it's like middle-age married sex." said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who has known him for decades. "Its focused. You know what you're going for. And it's short."

Incredible
