Before we feast on the tribalism and intrigue of the upcoming Chicago mayoral campaign, let's not forget something.
Let's not forget the guy who may have started it all.
He did it by uttering two little words, and they echoed ominously through Chicago's political sub-basements. Just days after the two little words were said, Mayor Richard Daley announced he wouldn't seek re-election.
Remember those two little words?

Precisely.
Forensic audit.

This is brass balls daley so you know it was something big time. I still can’t believe he backed down. I am no fan but have seen this guy do crazy things.
