Exclusive poll: Karen Lewis could give Rahm run for his money

For the past couple of weeks, Karen Lewis has been saying she is “seriously” considering running for mayor.

It turns out voters are taking the fiery Chicago Teachers Union president’s potential candidacy seriously as well.

And Mayor Rahm Emanuel probably should, too.

At least that’s what a surprising new Early & Often Poll suggests.

If the mayoral election were held today, the lightning rod union leader who was the architect behind a 2012 teachers’ strike would beat Emanuel by 9 percentage points in a head-to-head contest, the survey found.

If I lived in Chicago I would vote for her. From what I've heard, Rahm's main concern involves corporate interests, not the public good.

For rahm helping turn the Obama administation into Chicago East. We need him squashed, especially as he is considered a Veep Favortie for Hillary.

Hillary, you take this idiot as Veep, you might as well flush your election chances down the hole. Even nader haters like myself will have a hard time choking that down!
