Rahm Emanuel killed them in yesterday's election in Chicago, receiving more than twice the number of votes than the runner-up, Gery Chico, who has the name recognition of a smelly and obscure Asian fruit. (And more than six times the votes of Carol Moseley Braun, the only African-American woman to ever be elected to the U.S. Senate.) Now, Rahm will begin killin' em for real! I almost wish I lived in Chicago, taking your Ravenswood trains and going to, uh, the Loop I guess, on pretend business. Chicago is basically The Matrix, right? That's good, because Rahm is pretty much your Sims mayor.
"The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that Chicago ballots must include Rahm Emanuel's name, issuing a stay of a lower-court order that said he wasn't qualified to run for mayor." Also: "The court has not decided whether to hear Emanuel’s appeal of Monday’s Illinois Appellate Court ruling that tossed him out of the race to replace Mayor Daley. But the Supreme Court granted Emanuel’s motion for a stay of the ruling."
So some folks in Chicago are attempting to derail Rahm Emanuel's campaign for mayor of that city by challenging his residency. Emanuel testified before the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners today that " he left behind his family's 'most valuable possessions' at his Chicago home, showing he always intended to move back." But there are other problems.
