Rahm Emanual Gets Bounced Off The Election Ballot
DAMN! Quite a surprise to see that news yesterday. Maybe his clout isn't as strong as everyone assumed? Or maybe he'll get that decision reversed before the ballots to go to press?
I actually met him once a few years ago (I've also met Mayor Daley and Governor Pat Quinn). Without going into a lot of detail, of the three, the guy comes in a distant 3rd with some basic one-on-one elements you'd think a politician would need to succeed.
Whatever happens or not... based on the economy of Chicago and Illinois (the parking meter ripoff nightmare in Chicago is only one of many), you have to wonder what kind of person would actually be best qualified for dealing with the issues waiting for the new mayor?
