Rahm Emanuel..Chicagoland's New Mayor

http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20110223/capt.262e4945c6294dd9a64d5ce323622591-262e4945c6294dd9a64d5ce323622591-0.jpg?x=260&y=345&q=85&sig=xy.BKaLZBD6VGr8UgBPJBQ--

People get the government they deserve.

55% of the vote...no runoff.

Gery Chico had 24 percent, with Miguel Del Valle at 9.3 percent and Carol Moseley-Braun at 9 percent.

Apparently Emanuel's association with Obama helped quite a bit. He won a clear majority of Chicago's black vote over Moseley-Braun.

The cost? Over $13 million, almost four times more than Chico, the next closest.

It will be interesting tosee what effect this has on ex-Governor Blagojevich's retrial.

so what of the recent past election of 2010?

get with the program.
when an avowed communist like CM-B can only get 9 percent of the vote, you know you're getting the gov't you deserve?
right?
and no mention of the dead people either.

Blago is getting retried after his first verdict ended in a hung jury on all but one minor count.
