Voting Today: Rahm Emanuel Ahead in Chicago Mayor's Race

...in this guy?

Chicagoans, what is it?

I voted this morning.

its chicago. did you vote twice? :)

:rofl:

He's the best of the lot!

Does anybody here really think Carol Moseley-Braun is smart enough for this job?

The city will suffer badly under Rahm, worse it gives him a political standing that will allow him to pursue further, higher offices.

They don't realize how he's going to complete Daley's mission to place a big "FOR SALE" sign on the rest of the city that isn't privatized already.

I voted for del Valle.

who would easily win if Rahm weren't on the ballot.

In part to piss some of you off.

:rofl:

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

:fistbump:

The people have spoken and Rahm has won! :patriot:

From the moment Daley announced he wouldn't run, it's almost as if Rahm were "appointed". No matter what you think about the guy, this isn't good for democracies.

I know because I was in my voting place (a Mexican restaurant on Lawrence) this morning. I've never seen so many white people in one place in my neighborhood! Were you in your voting place this morning? If not, are you going tonight? I can assure you that people are indeed voting, so it is, indeed, an election. In fact, the most undemocratic thing about this election was the absurd attempt to remove Rahm Emmanuel from the ballot, when everybody knows he is a resident of Chicago. That was undemocratic, but people here cheered it because it would give them the result they want.

Here's the thing about elections: you don't always win. And when you lose, sometimes you just lose, and it's not about "stolen elections" or "appointing" or anything like that. Sometimes, the person you don't want to win is just more persuasive, or people just like and trust him or her more. It's not really that complicated.

Everyone knows they only have elections in Venezuela!

:hide:

cancel the election? :rofl:
