For all you non-Chicagoans, I don't see how Rahm can win UNLESS all the black politicians running (Braun, Davis and Meeks) don't pull out and split the black vote amongst the three.

If it is say Rahm vs. only ONE black candidate the black candidate will win because the black vote takes the cake in this city.

I guess if Rahm said his parents were illegal aliens from Mexico he could win that voter block but we still don't know the illegal population of Chicago other than I don't recommend any tourists going to the west side of Chicago, you will think you are in Juarez with bullet holes and all.

The revealing statement here is that Emanuel checked the box "part-year resident" in his original 2009 Illinois tax return (now amended). Rahm checked that off truthfully b/c, in his deluded power-crazed mind, he wasn't going back to Chicago for a long, long time.

Then Obama's numbers started diving as the Tea Party ascended. Rahm was given the bum's rush out of Washington before Midterms----as disaster loomed---in hopes of saving a few Dem seats. Rahm committed the ultimate crime---he failed to protect Obama from voters' revenge.

Now out of power---Rahm desperately needed to show he was still a player---thus the mayoral run.

SO HOW'S THE LITTLE SUCKER GONNA WIN? Easy. Candidate Rahm is gonna get on his knees, pucker up, and fellate all the hyphenates in exchange for votes.
