1. There were a lot of "legal claims" thrown about by both sides...
among DUers discussing. I will be interested to read the decision, if any detail is provided.

2. Based on the evidence provided by Rahm to the board I didn't see
any other outcome. I really, really, really, really wanted Rahm to be declared ineligible.

But when the board went to his house and opened the space below the house and saw all of Rahm's belongings I couldn't see them ruling against him.

4. True
The man lived there before moving to DC with Obama. It would have been a horrible signal if he was prevented from running.

5. I agree
It has less to do with the man, and more with precedence.

6. Yep. He lived there. Who was trying to challenge him?
Democrats or Republicans?

(sorry I did not know about this story. . .)

7. Who to vote for?
The guy who hates liberals or the guy who hates liberals?
