There's a new twist in the effort to stop Rahm Emanuel from becoming mayor of Chicago:
Rob Halpin, businessman, cigar smoker, man of destiny and potential mayoral candidate.
"This has nothing to do with Rahm Emanuel," Halpin told me Tuesday.
Really?
"This was not my idea," Halpin said. "I'm outside the mainstream. I'm not a professional politician. … I was approached by some businessmen who asked if I would be interested in running for mayor. And they explained to me why they thought I'd be a good candidate and a good mayor."

From the comments ...
howexx at 6:21 AM November 10, 2010 Rob Halpin is seriously considering a run for mayor. He doesn’t like being pushed around, especially by ballerinas. Halpin believes that by filing, and collecting the 12,500 signatures, he may be able to “crystallize” Emanuel’s “residency problem”. At this point, Halpin must get the necessary legal forms for the signatures. Halpin then plans a slow and deliberately methodical process of getting the signatures. He hopes to take his time with a low tech, high touch signature drive, from the Hermitage address, while getting some cheap publicity, and to secure some funds to amp up the signature drive. Halpin will start the signature drive, with a cigar in his mouth, from a card table in the driveway of his home. If he gets some traction, SIGNATURE DRIVE! Halpin believes Chicago wants a fight for the Mayorship. With all of the “bigwigs” dropping out to payoffs from the Rahminator’s L.A. Slush Fund, Chicagoans are being denied their due. Hopefully, there are others who believe Emanuel is THE impostor. He was an impostor as a guy with a ballet major from Sarah Lawrence when he made $12 million at Wasserstein Parella; he was an impostor as an American after he served in a foreign country’s military, and he is an impostor as a Chicagoan, and he is an outright fraud to claim residency at The Hermitage.
Chicago Mayoral candidate and friend in fur-trimmed red suit.
Rob Halpin now says he doesn't like being pushed around, especially by ballerinas.....
That's understandable. Heck, Halpin would like it even less if he got pushed around by Santa's elf.
"Obama says all he wants for Christmas is a pill that obliterates thoughts of midterms."
I thought the same thing.
It’s fabulous! And for sheer chutzpah, if this guy runs, he gets my vote.

When Santa's Elf & Fairy reads what Halpin said about him with that Ballerina dig, his head will explode. And the Mrs better hide all sharp objects or Rahm may lose another finger.
Ballerinas aren't exactly known for their skill with knives ;-)
It’s the best entertainment around.
It’s comical too! Can you imagine that little bast*rd’s reaction? His everyday sewer language is legendary! Sheer chutzpah is rite lol!
Ooo-ooo-ooo, that's gonna smart.
I am so voting for this guy, if he runs.
