Why can’t he do like his hero and just ignore the results of elections that don’t go his way?
I think that’s what he did the last time. IIRC, he wasn’t legally eligible to run....as he wasn’t a resident...something like that...
In Chicago, voters are given a choice when electing the leaders.
1.) This candidate will execute subjects via starvation.
2.) This candidate will execute subjects via Suffocation.
3.) This candidate will execute subjects via drowning.
4.) This candidate will execute subjects via dehydration.
The analogical point here is, there will be little difference in who they elect. Their next leader will do no better to help people and will get to the same ends via some subtley diffent means.
Residency requirements mean nothing to pols anymore
Gotta subscribe to the “on-line” Trib to read Kass. Too bad.
It’s a sad day in Chicago, as well as in America, when an election loss by Rahm Emanuel is bad news. Much as I smile by reading of his loss (non-win), the alternative seems to be even worse.
I can see the headlines after the election “the Godfather loses to Jesus”

==================================================
And let's not forget---Dem stronghold Illinois just elected (horrors) a REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR......
==============================================
Mayor Rahm "raised" and spent zillions of campaign monies. His " name recognition " garners much more donations, spending and more fundraising.
BACKSTORY Since leaving the White House as President Obamas chief of staff in 2010 to run for mayor the first time around, Emanuel (cough) raised about $30 million..... $15 million alone for this election-----an eye-popping four times as much as the total of his four challengers combined.
Mexican Chuy Garcia (backed by MoveOn.org, the progressive group begging Senator Elizabeth Warren to run for president) has raised about $1 million, mostly in teachers union money.
Plus---Emanuel is spending freely, nearly $7 million to monopolize the airwaves with ads.
Rahm ran 4,600 TV ads since Nov.......while his opponents are nearly invisible.
Some truth there, Gatcia is even more left-wing.

Anyone else see the strange irony in Jesus vs. Emanuel?
Rahm is a Jew who sides with those who hate Israel.
He’ll have a few weeks to fix the election machines. Vote early. Vote often.
True. But this has got to be a shock to Rahm and his boys that he wasn’t popular enough to win the first round.
I’ve heard city finances are in disarray, that people are upset that he closed a number of neighborhood schools in black neighborhoods, and that he and his people just haven’t gotten a handle on all the violence in the city.
Clearly over half of voters felt he didn’t deserve a 2nd term. But in the runoff, will voters coalesce around Chuy Garcia so as to kick Rahm out of office? We’ll see in the runoff in April.
Its a sad day in Chicago, as well as in America, when an election loss by Rahm Emanuel is bad news. Much as I smile by reading of his loss (non-win), the alternative seems to be even worse.
Yep. I’ve heard that Garcia is very very liberal, from the Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democrat party. If he’s elected, it may just hasten a further decline in Chicago, as more businesses flee, more productive people move out of the city, and we see crime fester.
lol
You will rue the day you supported the evil NAZI Rahm
Emanual
Jewish guy vs guy named Jesus
should make for some fun campaign signs
