Rahm is in place to ensure that Illinois stays in the Dem camp in 2012. Vote early and often.

So, Carol Mostly Brown has got 6-percent. Why is SHE running? They let her go at the 7-Eleven?

Many people claimed that the Daley machine in Chicago handed the 1960 elections to JFK VIA FRAUD. Nixon, in fact, should have been President 8 YEARS EARLIER.
This looks suspiciously familiar. We’ve seen this movie before.

He’s ahead by 50 million votes, or something like that.

Rahm was elected when he was restored to the ballot after he was disqualified. At that point, the election was over and now it's just a matter of publishing the numbers city hall wants the public to know. The actual vote count is irrelevant because the Daley machine will manufacture enough votes to make Rahmbo the winner by a comfortable margin.
Carl Mostly Fraud would have been a better choice as mayor. She's totally incompetent (and corrupt). Between her and Governor Quinn, it would have been a race for the basement. With Rahmbi, it will still be certain, but slower(?).

I thought he was ruled ineligible.

Why bother polling. In fact, why bother with the election. Exactly. "Elections" in Chicago are nothing more than an extended coronation for the chosen "winner."

Nope, Rahm was restored by the IL Supreme Court decision.
Chicago Tribune, January 27, 2011:
“The Illinois Supreme Court ruled today that Rahm Emanuel can stay on the ballot for mayor of Chicago, saying in a unanimous decision that he meets the state's residency requirements despite spending most of the last year as White House chief of staff.”

It’s Chicago. You can always count on them to choose the lowest level possible.

Is there a Republican sacrificial lamb selected yet for the “general?”

Of the African Americans surveyed, 53 percent said they would vote for Rahm Emanuel, rejecting the black political leadership's call for a black consensus candidate. No racism there, is there?

And according to the Illinois State Supreme Court, because Deadfish kept some belongings in his rent house to save storage fees, that proves he was planning to retain residency. Beam me up, Scotty.

What has Rahm ever run in his life except that sinecure at Fannie Mae and WH COS? Running a major city is the biggest job this loser will ever have. What makes you think that he is more competent and less corrupt than Carol Mostly Fraud?

Emanuel had enough UNION support citywide to win the election.

Nobody in their right mind bothers to do anything on the South side of Chicago. No pollsters will be getting an accurate take in that part of town. Oh to be sure twinkle-toes will win but Mosley-Braun will get a lot more than 6%. She will get 90% of the black vote. What ever percentage of Chicagoans that is I don’t know. But keep in mind Chicago, unlike New Orleans or Detroit, is not, as Nagin would say, a “chocolate city.”

In Chicago, you might as well not hold an election, the results are PREDETERMINED.
To: SeekAndFind
Yes yes, but when do they start polling the living?

On the contrary, Rahm can't run it any more that Carol Mostly Fraud. Rahm won't take the city into oblivion quite as fast as Carol would. No matter who the winner is, Chicago is a kamikaze mission waiting to happen. It's not a matter IF Chicago will crash; it's a matter of WHEN Chicago will crash.

Take Rahm out to the ball game,
Buy him some peanuts and Cracker jacks,
I don’t care if he ever comes back,
I’ts root, root for the Chicago man,
If he don’t win, it would be a shame,
So Chicago, do your duty and keep Rahm fighting for you!
As if Chicago was capable of doing anything else?

Didn’t the Republicans stop their sacrificial lambs when Bernard Epton nearly won in 1983?
