I wanna know the most important question in all this: How many people did Rambo have to mail dead fish to in order to win the mayoral race? Well...how many?!?!?!?
Rahm Emanuel spent lavishly (it worked out to about an average of $37.00 per vote). His spinners are touting his percentage, but close to sixty percent of Chicagoans who are registered voters sat out the entire election. Emanuel had the lowest vote total of a winning mayoral candidate since 1919.
It may be a hollow triumph. Hiding in the legislature or lining your pockets is one thing. Having to produce results or risk being held accountable is another. One newspaper forecast that Emanuel may be a one term mayor. Chicago’s economic problems may eat him alive.
