Chicago really doesn't need a presidential temple of worship masquerading as a presidential library, or a fancy downtown college basketball palace, or a Star Wars museum on the lakefront.

And downtown doesn't need a big casino, either, not even a glitzy one with monstrous video billboards depicting the giant, pitiless eyes of the mayor staring down at those from the neighborhoods who dared to look up.

Downtown has been getting quite a bit of attention, and though it might be nice to have all these things, (or not) — they aren't vital to the future of Chicago.

But there is one thing that is necessary. Think of it as a gift, one that can be given to Chicago on Tuesday, Election Day, Feb. 24.

Chicongo is America’s leading “City Of Communism”. As such, arguably, only a ‘Chicongo Fire’ will cleanse that collectivist sty.

You are, of course, 110% correct.

I’m in Chicago, and I don’t get your meaning. How does the cold weather help the machine persuade anyone to vote? I don’t know whom to support, since I like Walls and Wilson equally.

Chicago politics are notorious.

There is a saying in Chicago politics, "vote early and vote often", openly demonstrates the unabashed corruption in Chicago politics.

The extreme cold weather will keep people home, but turn out will still be over 100% in some areas.
