Did anyone really doubt that the Chicago fix was in all along? The Illinois Supreme Court just announced a 5-2 decision to allow Rahm Emanuel on the ballot for the February 22 Chicago mayoral election. Earlier today, former IL Republican Gov. Jim Thompson and other members of the state GOP establishment came out in favor of giving the former Obama ballot access.

Anyone who had any doubt about the outcome of this has no idea how Illinois functions.
Were you advising the Il SC ?
They came to the same conclusion, with the same reasons you have.
Nicely done.
He did pay taxes, both property and income.
Chicago will always be remembered for its gangsters.
No surprises when it comes to Illinois Democrats and the Illinois State Supreme Court.
According to the story it was 5-2.
The Illinois Code says that those who have consorted with Communists can’t be on the ballot. That alone should disqualify him.
Rahm Emanuel's role as pointe man means new respect for boys & ballet

Belly up the barres, boys. It's a perfect time to take the leap and don those tights - or maybe that's vice versa.
With the flurry of attention for the ballet history of congressman Rahm Emanuel (President-elect Obama's pick for White House chief of staff), it's suddenly become a lot cooler to be a guy who knows his way around toeshoes, turnouts and tights.

Here's Rahm as a young fledgling ballerina...
Well, that’s a cheery thought. YIKES!
I once saw Jim “Big Jim” Thompson riding in the passenger seat of a black European sports car, headed out of the Chicago area toward southwest Michigan. A younger man drove.
One simple letter change and we get this:
"Rahm Emanuel Allowed on Chicago Mayoral Ballet"
Amazing. The corruption in that state and town never ends.
Lincoln must be turning in his grave.
Hussein’s Cult rules there.
“According to the story it was 5-2.”
Those 2 were “yes for Rahm”, but for different reasons.
On a side note, the 3 “Repub” judges ruled for Rahm.

That's Rahm, "Dead Fish" Emanuel...
"In between his stints in Washington, Emanuel got rich working as an investment banker. He once sat on the board of Freddie Mac and recuses himself from any Congressional votes on the mortgage giant."
"Has been known to send out cheesecakes from Eli's Bakery in Chicago to campaign donors and the many Democratic candidates he has recruited over the years. Once, when a pollster made him angry, Emanuel sent him a dead fish."

I hope they got a great deal for their trouble if true.
