Runoff? After Obama campaigned in Chicago for him?

After Rahm "raised" and spent all that campaign money?

EDITED NEWS REPORT With Emanuel’s (cough) name recognition has come much more spending and fundraising.

Since leaving the White House as President Obama’s chief of staff in 2010 to run for mayor the first time around, Emanuel (cough) raised about $30 million..... $15 million alone for this election-----an eye-popping four times as much as the total of his four challengers combined.

Chuy Garcia (backed by MoveOn.org, the progressive group begging Senator Elizabeth Warren to run for president) has raised about $1 million, mostly in teachers’ union money.

Plus---Emanuel is spending freely, nearly $7 million to monopolize the airwaves with ads.

Rahm ran 4,600 TV ads since Nov.......while his opponents are nearly invisible.

I disagree about MoveOn. They’re not progressive, since liberal ideas don’t cause progress.
