African-American leaders unite around Carol Moseley Braun for Mayor (Chicago)
Tribune ^ | 1/1/11 | John Chase and Kristen Schorsch

Posted on 01/03/2011 9:30:37 AM PST by tcrlaf

frican-American political leaders rallied around former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun on Saturday as a unity candidate best qualified to be Chicago mayor, capping a holiday week of private negotiations that left her the only major black politician in the campaign.

Flanked by prominent black elected officials who dropped out and endorsed her bid, Braun told a crowd at the weekly Rainbow/PUSH Coalition meeting on the South Side that she has "the most credentials and the most qualifications and experience of all of the candidates running" to replace retiring Mayor Richard Daley.

"And so they just chose the most qualified candidate for the job," said Braun, who made history as the nation's first black female senator but dropped out of elected politics after losing her re-election bid in 1998.

The blacks are rallying around the black candidate, no matter how corrupt she is, but it's not racism if DONE-WHILE-DEMOCRAT.

Chicago is about to "Detroit" itself....

Now that is the very acme of racism.

What was the scandal when she left Congress? I can’t remember what it was.

I'm not sure about that. The anti-jew element of the dems is getting VERY big today. I think a lot of people are starting to see it.

..Braun told a crowd at the weekly Rainbow/PUSH Coalition meeting on the South Side that she has "the most credentials and the most qualifications and experience of all of the candidates running".

Given that they have "graced" us with 0bambi, why do credentials, qualifications and experience matter to Dumbocrats?

It’s a shame the “blacks” rally around the party who represents Jim Crow, Robert (KKK) Byrd, George Wallace, Jessie Jackson, Sharpton, and other historical racists instead of Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party, without which there’d be no Civil Rights.

Shame on them.

I don’t know about when she left but I always thought it was a real scandal that she got elected in the first place.

Rahm, the prima ballerina, is finding a bunch of uncooth lead-footed hoofers on her stage.

She's going to have to shoot bitch-lasers out of her eyes to sashay them all away.

I know, let’s tell everybody to vote for the political candidate who’s the same race as you. It’s the right thing to do.

Every mobster in the midwest wants this office. The winner’s going to need a string of tractor trailers to haul his winnings away.

At least find some responsible person who knows how a check book works (of any color).

Whom do you support, for mayor of Chicago? I’m in Chicago, and I endorse Fred White. He’s pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, pro-gun rights, and anti-illegal alien. His site is www.fredrick-k-white.com.
