Indiana and Kentucky are "the land of Lincoln" ~ his mother and sister are buried on a piece of Indiana land that was adjacent to their farm ~ that was owned by my ancestors.

Illinois is a place where Lincoln went to make money as a railroad lawyer!

Ramen-noodle wins. That’s all the chi-town folks will be chewing on with the coming fiscal devastation.

Obama is now well-positioned for taking Illinois' electoral votes in the 2012 election.

It will only behoove his soon-to-be-ensconced mayoral stooge to get the Chicago vote out in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the rest of the state vote. This will include the dead vote and the illegal alien vote.

The Chicago electoral votes are now in the bag for the Usurper for the next presidential race.....he can check Chicago off the list and move on to St. Louis, Houston, LA and all the rest of the big cities. The Dems are always well-organized and have most major cities as lead pipe cinches.

The Pubbies better have an exciting presidential candidate or they're dead in the water. The Chicago mayoral race is a textbook example of a big city election organized and run directly from the White House running smoothly and perfectly from start to finish.

Chicago has managed to survive worst than Rahm. It is one of the world’s greatest cities and rarely has had leadership which is not corrupt. Our city motto is “The Fix is In”.

Why is this in “Breaking News”?

I knew he would win the day he was allowed to be placed on the ballot.

LOL I heard Rush say today, election day, was the “Day of the Living Dead” LOL. I live in a collar county, and we all knew the fix was in. Yes, hopefully it will survive tho probably will get more expensive to live/go into City. Think what Chicago could be if there was honest government?! :)

What does the election of Rahm Emanual mean?

It means that Chicago will become Cairo in the summer of 2012 run up to the November elections.Obama is just getting started.

Wow, those last two pictures surprise me. I didn’t know Will Smith put messages in his hair. Must have missed “Hancock is a good movie” he carved in.

PLEASE CALL ABC 7 AND TELL THEM TO RE-AIR "V" FOR ALL THE INTERRUPTIONS FOR THE COMMUNIST FUTURE MAYOR!!!

The caps are necessary. I called ABC 7 and talked to a guy I assume is from "Boy's Town" and the prick told me to watch "V" online. I explained to the "man lover" that ABC doesn't allow "V" to be viewed online and the prick hung up on me.

So please call and harass ABC 7 and tell them you want money for the interruption of V. I finished the call by saying "Rahm's a communist" and was hung up on by the gay man who probably is a man boy lover. This guy was as flaming as Big Gay Al in an inferno.

But when ABC 7 is run by gays from boystown I guess this is what we get.

Why do gays get a pass on everything? A gay can blow up a building and they'd get a medal. It makes me sick.
