A major union in Chicago, the SEIU has endorsed Jesus Chuy Garcia to defeat Rahm Emanuel in the upcoming runoff election for mayor. The general election is an anticlimax as only a democrat can win in Chicago, which explains why the city is in such rotten shape. The endorsement will come with about 2 million in campaign contributions and assures Garcia of additional ground troops as he tries to dethrone Emanuel. Many see this as a slap at the White House.
THIS IS NOW--Rahm is prostrate---in obeisance to Republicans-- sucking-up for support.
Rahm Emanuel is a true-blue, snake-in the grass Democrat. But he failed to get enough votes----so to avoid a humiliating defeat, he's on his knees---needs begging Republicans to vote for him in the upcoming runoff.
Repubs need to remember the Repub-hating Rahm in the Inaugural day pic.

==================================================
Mayor Rahm "raised" and spent zillions to get reelected. Since leaving the White House as 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.
Emanuel spendt freely, nearly $7 million to monopolize the airwaves with ads. Rahm ran 4,600 TV ads since Nov.......while his opponents are nearly invisible.
==============================================
THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD shortly after quitting his powerful WH job as Obama's COS, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had magically "raised" $30 million for his campaign in "just a matter of weeks." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down).
Ya gotta wonder how much the cunning onetime Wall Streeter wired offshore when Obama put Rahm--in a dual role---as his COS....... AND in charge of the entire US Treasury.
================================================
BACKSTORY---THE KINGPINS OF CHICAGO CRIMINAL POLITICS IN OUR WH wasted no time.....they had a stranglehold on the Census, AND the US Treasury, from day one.
The minute Obama/Valerie/Rahm/Axelrod/Geithner, and that Practiced bunch of Chicago criminals, landed in the WH they did two things that were apparently crucial to their evil plans
(a) they took control of the US Census;
(b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (cabinet-level agency oversees IRS).
THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.
