Emanuel Hearing Wraps Up
The Chicago Tribune ^ | December 17, 2010 | Jeff Coen

[T]he attorney for the lead objectors, Burt Odelson, said the most telling evidence about whether the candidate should be on the Feb. 22 ballot is the simple fact that Emanuel has been missing from Chicago for much of the last two years.

"I don't think there's any doubt where the candidate was for one year prior to the Feb. 22, 2011, municipal election," Odelson said. And Emanuel should get no exemption for government service, Odelson said, because that's reserved for men and women in the military.

"That law was passed in 1943, for obvious reasons," Odelson argued.

Both sides have until Monday to file written briefs in support of their arguments. Morris said he hopes to make a recommendation by Thursday, when the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners could vote on the issue.

The 11 through 100 spots are probably heavy with current Senators and Reps. Thanks PBRCat.

I wonder if he had a mailing address in Chicago? At the Bath House possibly?

Obama and Emanuel: Members of same gay bath house in Chicago

President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel are lifetime members of the same gay bath house in uptown Chicago, according to informed sources in Chicago’s gay community, as well as veteran political sources in the city.

The bath house, Man’s Country, caters to older white men and it has been in business for some 30 years and is known as one of uptown Chicago’s “grand old bathhouses.” WMR was told by sources who are familiar with the bath house that it provides one-year “lifetime” memberships to paying customers and that the club’s computerized files and pre-computer paper files, include membership information for both Obama and Emanuel. The data is as anonymized as possible for confidentiality purposes. However, sources close to “Man’s Country” believe the U.S. Secret Service has purged the computer and filing cabinet files of the membership data on Obama and Emanuel.
