Thanks Stayfrosty. He and his boss— serving in office despite ineligibility.

[woweeitsme]

If we start electing Presidents by popular vote, this country is absolutely screwed.

[Honorary Serb]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[dirtman]

It is probably a good idea to avoid showering at the Chicago city hall gym for a while.

[Fast Ed97]

It's really sad but Rahm was probably the best out of the bunch. I will say this, if we ever get to the point that our Presidential race comes down to Rahm Emanuel, Carol Mosely Braun, Gerry Chico and Miguel Del Valle..I'm outta here!

[SunkenCiv]

[Prole]

Exactly.

Chicago is truly a criminal cesspool.

This news fully solidfies my beliefs.

[guinnessman]

Both.

Technically, this is the Democratic primary, but since there are no Republicans running, he also wins the general election.

[MortMan]

Actually, Chicago has another professional midget who can dance. ;-P

[apoliticalone]

Confirmation that Chicago is still a corrupt political machine and now they even own the Ill Supreme Court. These residents are no different than those in Libya and Egypt and beholden to those entitled to power.

[muawiyah]

Indiana and Kentucky are "the land of Lincoln" ~ his mother and sister are buried on a piece of Indiana land that was adjacent to their farm ~ that was owned by my ancestors.

Illinois is a place where Lincoln went to make money as a railroad lawyer!

[Absolutely Nobama]

How many dead people voted ?

[Leisler]

Mayor Emanuel, now preferring to now be called Fey Wang, dances though Chicago's Chinatown....

[TheBigJ]

Ramen-noodle wins. That’s all the chi-town folks will be chewing on with the coming fiscal devastation.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

[MinuteGal]

Obama is now well-positioned for taking Illinois' electoral votes in the 2012 election.

It will only behoove his soon-to-be-ensconced mayoral stooge to get the Chicago vote out in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the rest of the state vote. This will include the dead vote and the illegal alien vote.

The Chicago electoral votes are now in the bag for the Usurper for the next presidential race.....he can check Chicago off the list and move on to St. Louis, Houston, LA and all the rest of the big cities. The Dems are always well-organized and have most major cities as lead pipe cinches.

The Pubbies better have an exciting presidential candidate or they're dead in the water. The Chicago mayoral race is a textbook example of a big city election organized and run directly from the White House running smoothly and perfectly from start to finish.

Chicago has managed to survive worst than Rahm. It is one of the world’s greatest cities and rarely has had leadership which is not corrupt. Our city motto is “The Fix is In”.

[arrogantsob]

You wouldn’t come to hear the Chicago Symphony or look at the Impressionists in the Art Institute or to attend the University of Chicago or hear the best blues in the world or see plays second to none? Why not? And I am not even going to ask about the food urggggggg OMG.

[pankot]

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you! Who would have guessed!

[EODGUY]

Why is this in “Breaking News”?

I knew he would win the day he was allowed to be placed on the ballot.

EODGUY

[bushwon]

LOL I heard Rush say today, election day, was the “Day of the Living Dead” LOL. I live in a collar county, and we all knew the fix was in. Yes, hopefully it will survive tho probably will get more expensive to live/go into City. Think what Chicago could be if there was honest government?! :)

[Fledermaus]

Morons. I hope the state and city go bankrupt. Idiots.

[Candor7]

What does the election of Rahm Emanual mean?

It means that Chicago will become Cairo in the summer of 2012 run up to the November elections.Obama is just getting started.

[Fledermaus]

Wow, those last two pictures surprise me. I didn’t know Will Smith put messages in his hair. Must have missed “Hancock is a good movie” he carved in.

[jarofants]

Who counted the votes?!!!

[digital-olive]

Hey Chicago, I look forward to watching you try and escape from the sh**ter.

[merryberry]

NEW HERE TO POSTING..this should be headlines on page 20 of any paper...I’m shocked..shocked. this is news?

[jarofants]

Add up all of there IQ’s and my 3 year old granddaughter's would be higher!!!

[ReverendJames]

Yeah, just read where he won. Well, Chicago gets what Chicago deserves.

[Dengar01]

PLEASE CALL ABC 7 AND TELL THEM TO RE-AIR "V" FOR ALL THE INTERRUPTIONS FOR THE COMMUNIST FUTURE MAYOR!!!

The caps are necessary. I called ABC 7 and talked to a guy I assume is from "Boy's Town" and the prick told me to watch "V" online. I explained to the "man lover" that ABC doesn't allow "V" to be viewed online and the prick hung up on me.

So please call and harass ABC 7 and tell them you want money for the interruption of V. I finished the call by saying "Rahm's a communist" and was hung up on by the gay man who probably is a man boy lover. This guy was as flaming as Big Gay Al in an inferno.

But when ABC 7 is run by gays from boystown I guess this is what we get.

Why do gays get a pass on everything? A gay can blow up a building and they'd get a medal. It makes me sick.

[Dengar01]

STOP ABC 7 they are run by radical gays who hate straight people. I swear to God I am going to not only call them non stop tomorrow but I am going to picket their studio that airs on TV at 10:00 and say "ABC 7 = GAY RADICALISM".

I'm going to make their trips to the bathhouse be out of misery instead of excitement.

[itssme]

Let's keep an eye on the ballerina, with the weird, high note speaking voice...his voice and style of speaking can irritate you, I'm tellin’ ya. Did anyone hear his speech tonight after “he won”? Keep an eye on where the little creep likes to go to unwind...and be sure to get pictures. He's bold and brash, and he might just slip up and “be himself” in some gay club.

Every time I see his mug on TV, and now more than ever in Illinois, I have the feeling I need to scrub myself clean!

[digital-olive]

I’d love to meet this kid.

[fieldmarshaldj]

C’mon, now. You’re not really mad at the fella who answered the phone, you’re really mad because Chicago coronated a psychotic Socialist thug with delusions of Godhood. Time to move to Tennessee, dude.

[Ticonderoga34]

Not surprising.

Emanuel was the Democratic Machine candidate. And in Chicago, the Machine and the Outfit rules.

[kelly4c]

I’m in the burbs, I don’t really keep up with Chicago politics, but the few Republicans I know here even said they woul vote for him because A. He seems like he would be good for the city and B. There were no better choices. Also around around here they don’t seem to know this man’s background at all.

[pillut48]

Wow. What.A.Surprise.

Not.

[pillut48]

I’m personally expecting a multitude of “sudden natural disasters” to strike at the unfortunate city...kind of the way these abnormal snowstorms, etc keep aiming DIRECTLY at D.C.

God is in control.

[buccaneer81]

If the electoral college is eliminated,

Never going to happen. Even in the darkest of days for the conservative movement, there is no way 38 state legislatures would ever go for this.

[Rapscallion]

Being the capo de capo is better than being president.

[Loud Mime]

You’d think Daley would just declare Rham the winner and save all the expense of an election.

And forgo all the campaign donations? They need the process to find out who their enemies are!

[Average Al]

Chicago elects a Fairy Godmother!

[TheOldLady]

What were all those dead people thinking?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Unfortunately, never say never. Gay marriage, Barack Obama as POTUS, ObamaCare passing, and the elimination of DADT were never going to happen, either.

[ripley]

Question:

Are there enough fish in those big lakes to enable the new mayor to do business?

Just asking.
IMHO

[Scythian]

The people of Chicago are certifiable, they deserver the “Detroiting” that is coming thier way, it couldn’t happen to a more stupid group of people.

[Niteranger68]

Well said!!!!!!

“The real essence of the issue is in a democracy the person that gets the most number of votes should win.

As it should be in a democracy.

[theDentist]

They never learn

[ScottinVA]

And the sun came up.
And somewhere in the woods, a bear pooped.

Much mystery, there.
