As of this morning the official ballots went to the printer without his name appearing on it. If he expects to appeal and get the ballot re-printed he's going to need to expidite it. I'm hoping he's screwed.

Likewise. It would be my late Christmas present if he isn't on the ballot, because I know I sure as hell wouldn't be voting for him if he were on it...

Il Supreme Court orders ballots may not omit Rahm until they make a final ruling in the case. Soif the board intends to print ballots today they must include Rahm.



Personally I'd laugh my ass off if he got elected but the Supreme Copurt upheld the appellate court ruling saying he was ineligible.

Good grief---I can't even believe they are even wasting people's time with this litigious bullshit. It has the rank and palpable stench of desperation all about it. Rahm Emanuel is a fucking Chicagoan and has always been a Chicagoan. PERIOD.

Appallette court made this ruling to feel relevant in my opinion, the Circuit Court and the Board of Elections both ok'd it already. It will go to the Supreme court and be over turned he'll be Mayor and all will be back to the status quo of evil. No matter who gets elected.



his was probably just some weird power play in motion that none of us will ever really understand. For those who don't like Rahm I understand, but i don't see how anyone else is any better. For anyone they are some big shoe's to fill. It's one thing for Rich to fill his Dad's shoes, but for someone to try to follow the legacy of a Daley build on the legacy of a Daley... not easy for anyone. I know he was a democrat, but i'm still holding out hope that as Senior advisory to Clinton he was part of the reason that the budget was on it's way to being balanced. The only real bad thing I"ve heard about him is that he's a dick. (I admit I probably don't follow it closely enough) but if that's all they can do to tear him down is say he's mean and nasty, well then I'm all for it. You have to be a dick to do what it takes to turn this city around. And I love entourage.

The Illinois Supreme Court has ordered a halting of the ballots being printed until it can review the case.



The state Supreme Court on Tuesday granted a stay on Monday's appeals court ruling that held Emanuel was ineligible to be a mayoral candidate and ordered that any ballots printed include his name while the case is pending.



In the 24-page brief seeking the emergency stay Emanuel's lawyers argue, "The decision below squarely conflicts with other appellate rulings addressing candidate residency requirements" and contend the lower court "was unable to find a single appellate decision supporting its novel legal standard."



At issue in Monday's ruling is what the term "resided in" in the state provision means. Emanuel's lawyers argue that phrase should not be assigned the same meaning as "lived in." Instead, Emanuel's lawyers say, the fact that President Obama's former chief of staff has maintained a residence in the city for the past two years is enough to satisfy the requirement.

Money on the politically connected winning their point. I don't agree with but the stakes are high and

their is way too much power to be lost if Rahm does not get his way. Chicago politics has a full court

press in Springfield.

I agree. And to my previous points, I think I want Rahm to win, because if anyone knows how to railroad federal money into Chicago it will be him.

Not that you are wrong but I F'n hate that. I hate it that people will elect the scum of the earth because

of WIFM. It is also the reason why we do not see any honest, trusting and legitimate candidates for Mayor

or should I say Governor of Chicago. It is what most passionately hate about politics in our state and yet

they will elect for the reasons you mentioned. Not to mention the party of entitlements would never relinquish

Chicago and from an outsiders viewpoint as a whole I like the changes that have happened in Chicago over the last 3 decades. You only need to look around the UC to know what I mean or visit Navy Pier.

Yeah, just because I said it doesn't mean I like it either, but if Obama is going to be shoveling out money like coal in a furnance, I want a guy who can at least get a fair share of it to ease the pain of the hot poker the state is shoving up our hind ends. I've only lived here about 6 years now, so I don't really know it from before, but other than all the corruption, I'd say it's a pretty nice place.

By the way what is WIFM? I'm not getting it sorry.

We need Kennedy back.......



"Ask not what your country do for you but what you can do for your country."



Obama and the current administration plays to the opposite belief.

I don't get what you don't like about him Chris? Is this another 'we hate Pelosi, but we don't really know why' thing?



If I was voting (not a city resident) I would cringe like a mothafucka at the other three big names.

I dislike Pelosi but I do not know why?????????? Seriously? The most disliked person in all of Congress and

you ask a ridiculous question like that?



I do not like Rahm and I do know why also. Where would I begin????



You are correct about the individuals runnning for Chicago Mayor. Who are the lesser of the evils?

Carol Mosely, really? Actually a contender? I only care who is Mayor because it has huge implications

for our entire state.
