Who Do You Think Will Win the race for Chgo Mayor?

I bet Rham. Why not...the machine must be kept oiled.

Yeah,I think Rahm will win too.

It's a given. His poll numbers were so much higher before they through him into court over residency problems.

Not too many to chose from, anyway. Chico's been linked to private contracts that benefited him....already.

Davis, I don't think too many know much about him.

Mosley has her past which they are dwelling on...especially since some article Neil Steinberg wrote in the Times where people can't comment...so Carol threw some slug back at him...which the black community did not like..no spine. Too much of a past...baggage.

I don't know...doesn't matter who. They just raised the parking fees 20%...so I see the city I used to love to go down to...out of my budget.

They seem too much leasing out, and I'll tell you what did Daley in, besides serving too long..patronage and leasing out the parking meters. Overnight. No aldermen were informed. Same with Miegs Field.

I just hope people with the limited brains for politicians that are running, pick someone not based on color but character.

Seems non qualifty. I would sit this one out if I were a Chicagoan...property taxes are going up, claims Daley, because of pension reform by Quinn.

Looks like Daley will move to his summer home. Betcha! He most likely got sick of being slammed, having a wife with cancer, decided to spend time with family.

God, I only hope the best for the poor souls in Chicago. How much more in taxes can they pay for these crooks of politicians?

I certainly would NOT vote in this election - if I were a resident. It wouldn't make a difference. It's a fix. None are but the "same old".

Well, Carol Moosely Braun just got herself in a hole. Field is narrowing. she finally exposed her tax returns...owes 4 mortages on her crib. LOL

Please go and vote on color, not brains...look what happened.

I'd love to know where you got that from considering she hasn't released her records yet.

Waiting for my hot water from a tankless water heater...few seconds to go.

Mosley put her tax records up from 09 today. Does thst mean she is now qualified?

First it was "Because I don't want to!" Then it was just recent tax returns. Now it's full blown reports. Geez, can't these politicians just throw it out at the beginning?

It cracks me up....Obama takes from Chicago, the machine. People drop out of his administration, he exchanges politicians from Chicago and the beat goes on.

I think Chico, so far, is the most qualified, though I think none of them are. Corruption is the game. Always was, always will be.

I see a lot of people saying they are moving out of the state.

Then it appears they are deeper in trouble ever than before. Corporations comment on various newspapers that the tax increase will allow them to move out and re-coup. How stupid is IL?

oK, WATER FINALLY GOT HOT...WHAT'S WITH THE WATER PRESSURE IN HAMMOND?????

Her personal finances are a mess. That's why she didn't want to release them. She has no chance of winning.

Emanual is also qualified. One of them will be the next mayor.

Easier said then done.

I don't like her attitude.

I read a lot of newspapers online, even from up north of Chicago, west, etc.

I've read quite a few comments from CEOs stating they were going to relocate to Florida, or other states.

They did pass that tax increase, although on the news this a.m., when the newly elected congress oe legislature takes over, they will attempt to veto or repeal it.

Why are they so stupid doing this tax increase without first showing how they can cut corners?

8 yrs. of spending, then sock it to the businesses and people's checks to pay for THEIR mistakes.

I think it was a terrible, terrible move to make at a time where jobs are scarce, homes are in foreclosure, and businesses are struggling.

Like Mitch said, "Living next door to the Simpsons!"

Really, who gives a shit?

Rham rammed his way through. Oh, it's fixed!

Prediction:

He served for Obama. The black people will endorse him for that.

It's either for skin color or lack of brains and research.
I say, all three.

Yo bro..damn 24 days later, just found this from you.

She released it on the news, and newspapers.

Then she also exposed more going back to 2006, 7 and 8.

I don't post bullshit. I saw it on the a.m. news that morning. Read the Chicago Sun-times that day. That's how I knew. Damn, look at the date and google the Sun Times.

Just so ya know I don't make up shit.

She is trying...as of today..she's lagging.

Told ya...it was a FIX! How else did Emanuel get in despite the CLEAR LAW?

A couple strings..one phone call from Obama...that's all that's needed.

Kiesling had a good column on that ruling today in the Times.

I agree with Kiesling. Emanual should not be punished for serving his country as chief of staff. He only rented his house and even left some things behind there. He always was registered to vote in Chicago.

I think the guy that turned the Blackhawks around in a year should consider running. He had the Cubs running like a fine tuned machine and when he left, well, you know what the cubs are these days. Then he went to the Blackhawks, made great decisions, and next thing you know hundreds of thousands are celebrating in downtown Chicago. I can't think of his name... Donahue, Dunnelly, starts with a D. Chicago needs a business man in mayors office, not a politician.

rEAD ON THE DRUGE REPORT, RHAM WAS NOT QUALIFIED AS CHIEF TO THE POTUS.

In my opinion, his departure was a "secretcy" (Call me FreeTime, but I watch "MORNING JOE".

He came back only because he didn't qualify as "Chief of Staff".

Oh I assume the black voters will vote not based on color, but because he served as Obama's "right (wrong) hand".

Did you know that IL is the worst of 48th up there in corruption and got rejected for wanting a new "free-hand-out?"

Me thinks the corporations will move to Indiana...but it will take awhile.


Everyone I know that own businesses, or family, for instance in my case, if my father goes...we all go together. Outside the U.S.A. that is "no longer".

You vote Demo's, you get that. They demolish everything.

Ask them to pay for their own health care, their soc. sec., no pensions, and live like the rest of them that support their oayrolls and watch how fast gov't dwindles.

Like on Morning Joe, "It's unstustainable".

In my opinion, no matter if you have an R or D after your name, according to the program I watched this a.m., "Morning Joe", we will have a disater this year, unless gov't reins in the spending...live like us that pay their salaries.

Our politicians are in office because of patronage. Give them a test to see how stupid they are.

You're thinking of John McDonough
He probably made a lot more money running those teams that he ever could have earned as Mayor.

Thanks Artie, it was on the tip of my tongue. Point is, the city needs a bright business mind instead of a career politician.

BTW, the cubs ARE a train wreck!

EXACTLY.

Run it like a business, as if you owned it, and watch the pork barrels get thrown in the recycling department and the "earmarks" get thrown to the "hogs" that really occupy the swine fills.

Did you ever wonder why they sell pig ears? Never could figure it out, but I think they should sell "politicans' ears" cuz they don't use them.

We could increase exports selling the Chinese human ears that are "worthless".

Of course, we have no choice if they use saturated fat or unsaturated fat.

We are the communist country now, ya know?

Rahm Emanuel cleared to run after Illinois Supreme Court overturns Appeal court ruling in a unanimous decision. The case now ends as there can be no appeal to the US Supreme Court.

Seems he is back on...no he IS back on.

Well, they will get what they wish for, if he truly is in the lead.

Personally, they have no choice.

He worked for Obama and they believe in dreams.

Are there any Republicans running?

You would think they had learned their lesson by now.

Nope. Voting back in the "same old!"

Told ya it was "fixed!"
