ABC7 poll: Rahm Emanuel leading Chicago mayor's race

ABC Local ^ | 02/09/2011 | Charles Thomas

[Gaffer]

Chicago must have a latent predilection for Homo Ballerinas

[AU72]

Why bother polling.
In fact, why bother with the election.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Carol Moseley Braun is the mayor Chicago deserves.

But Dead Fish is a close second.

[Ingtar]

I thought he was ruled ineligible. Then again, this is Chicago.

[Obadiah]

Why bother with the polling? Why bother with election?

Seriously. BTW, is this a poll only of ABC"News" staff members?

[Jerry Attrick]

Chicago LUUVVS their Thugs.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Politics in Chicago = Thugs and Goons Incorporated??

[fwdude]

They’re just too stupid to know, aren’t they?

[Bitsy]

The people of Chicago pride themselves as being so tough. I guess that feeling is about to be put to the test.

[FrankR]

This no surprise whatsoever.

It was in the bag before he left DC.

Chicago is a 'fixed' city...it is in the hands of those in power and it will never change.

[PGR88]

Something is strange about this. Carol Moseley Braun at only 6%? She is black, a feminist, has been a US Senator and even an Ambassador. And sum up the African Americans, feminists and leftists in Chicago - and all she can manage is 6%????

[ExTexasRedhead]

Chicago apparently loves KAPOS too.

[dforest]

I am so surprised. Notttttt!

[MichaelCorleone]

Wow - rotten to the core.

[grobdriver]

Too bad he's not legally eligible to serve, like someone else he knows.

But who cares? That's just a peskey law...

[blackdog]

The era of give aways to obtain office and hold onto power is fast coming to a close. There is nothing left to give.

To govern in the next 25 years is to take back what has wrongly been stolen from the public for the past 40 years to buy political favor.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Doesn’t this poll prove that blacks in chicago are uncle toms since they are choosing a white woman over a black woman?

[surfer]

This is absolute proof of just how broken our system really is. The truth is never allowed to come out anymore...it is all a marketing scam.

[nmh]

Why bother to have an election?

They already REDEFINED what “residency” means because he didn’t QUALIFY to be on the ballot. The court CHANGED the definition to accomadate the scumbag so I predict he will win. It wouldn’t matter if NO ONE voted for him. He will WIN anyway. That’s the way it is in Chicago!
