The only question left to answer in the Chicago mayor's race is will Rahm Emanuel surpass 50% of the vote and avoid a runoff with whoever finishes second.
The major opponents in the race are hoping to force a runoff. Gery Chico, former head of the Chicago school board, greeted commuters both at stations and on trains as he rode throughout the city. City clerk Miguel del Valle rallied volunteers who were trying to get out the vote. Braun held a news conference near Emanuel's restaurant stop trying to portray herself as the true representative of working people. Emanuel has been hit hard with the opponents charging he is a Washington insider and is avoiding answering questions about some of his controversial moves.
"He is a pathological evader of the truth," Chico said Monday. "When you put a question to somebody, and they will not answer the question but they are so well-rehearsed as to evade your question."
For his part, Emanuel seemed to try to stay above the fray since he has the advantage of being the front-runner.
"They can say whatever they want," he said Monday. "It doesn't matter what anybody says or what they say about me because if we don't turn this city around it is going to be harder for their kids. That has been my focus from day one."
Emanuel, well-known for his past demonstrations of anger and his colorful personality, has been low-key throughout the campaign.

After all, he is so likable.
Typical Chicago Style politics; another ineligible takes the Top Office (same thing happened in Washington D.C., in the 2008 Presidential Election).
Shrug. The voting majority in Chicago just never learns.
Once again, Chicago gets what they deserve.
Wait until the riots come to Chicago when the bills come due for Rhambo..........
I just wonder how many of his supporters are actually still breathing. And to what taxpayer-funded czarship will his Dr. Death brother be appointed to.
Of course, anyone with half a brain has already left Chicago so you can only guess what’s left to run the city.
Who’s the Republican candidate?
It’s always all about the kids, isn’t it?
Never mind that we’re going to put them into thousands of dollars of debt per child. We just want to get our liberal arms around them because we know what’s best for them.
How could it have been anything else? The fix was in or he wouldn’t have “run.” What a sick b@stard. I’d like to see him fall still in this life.
Ah Chi-town, just trading one thug for another....
You're exactly correct!
How’s Carol Mostly Fraud doing today?
F’k Chicago...let it burn.
Oh big surprise. They went to all the trouble to “fix it” so he could run - you don’t think they’d let him lose do you?
Why do they even Vote there? The outcome is set!
I’m not sure which one stinks the worse - a big, steaming pile of fresh horse sh*t or Chicago politics.

Chicago’s citizens continues to flee it’s borders and it’s down to it’s population a century ago.
It’s about to lose it’s #3 position to Houston.
unknown species in Chicago, sorry
