I get the feeling, from what I have read, that the powers do not want Rahm to be Mayor.
All the local politicians have been saying the same thing, “It’s a blackman’s turn this time.”
They all speak in backhanded insults to Rahm “the interloper”.
That said, Rahm’s residency will be affirmed and he will get the highest vote total in the primary. I foresee a 3-way runoff.
THAT short campaign season will be real interesting (threats of minority riots will be plentiful).
So it’s a fight between the ‘blacks’ and the ‘socialist jews’ for control of the Chicago Machine (and all that freshly printed stimulus money)?
Riots? Chicago? No way! LOL I need to go to Wally World and buy some Orval for the fun. LOL Rahm will get his Jewish ass kicked. And he needs an ego adjustment.
Under the applicable election laws, only the two top candidates will reach the run-off election.
The only way to avoid having to compete in the run-off election is for the first place candidate to finish with greater than 50% of the vote in the February 22, 2011 election. If that happens, the candidate wins outright.
