Vote for Michele Smith!
Even if this isn't true, the idea is a worthy one:
- Beers for votes -- that's the charge Ald. Vi Daley is leveling against challenger Michele Smith in the race for the tony 43rd Ward.
The charge may seem tame by Chicago campaign standards. But as CBS 2's Derrick Blakley reports, it's the biggest issue brewing in the race to represent the Lincoln Park neighborhood.
A flier circulated by Smith's campaign for a party last Saturday at a West Armitage tavern advertised a $5 drink special for attendees holding early voting receipts.
Aldercreature Daley is another one of those runoffs that we hope goes a certain way - that's to say the incumbent loses badly. We're still hoping for Haithcock and Tillman to get launched, too.

Big fuckin' deal, Vi Daley!
While working 011, I was assigned to an election precinct only ONCE. It was a barbershop which then stood on the southwest corner of Adams and Pulaski.
Around noontime, the Democratic precinct captain told me to "go to lunch" with his $20 bill. I declined.
Within minutes, he then went into a voting booth and repeatedly pulled down the lever, casting votes. I stopped him and requested 1190, Lt. Henry Brinker.
Brinker called for a beat car and I traded assignments with an old-timer. Hours later, I cruised by and found about a dozen "winehead" voters gathered in a nearby vacant lot.
The precinct captain had "rewarded" them with bottles of cheap muscatel and packs of Kools for fulfilling their "civic duty".
I was never assigned to a poll again.
I reside in the 43rd Ward. I've already voted (early) against the lesser of two evils.
I'm now pissed that I never collected my $5 night of beer.
You owe me, Michele Smith.
Vote early and vote often! It's the Chicago way.
Make mine a Miller light please.
"I'll drink to that".
I HOPE EVERY STANDING ALDERTHIEVE LOSES IN A BIG WAY! BUT DALEY AND HIS ILK HAVE SET UP FUNDS TO HELP THE SITTING LAZY ALDERTHIEVE CREW TO WIN! HE WANTS TO KEEP ALL HIS FLOCK OF SHEEP SILENT AND CLOSE SO THE KING CAN CONTROL AND OWN PEOPLE LIKE SLAVE TILLMAN!
All these broads are quite humerous in their obtuse viewpoints on managing City government.
As residents of the 43rd Ward let us say that Michelle Smith will get our vote! We're always up for a $5 drink special. The bitch better not cut us off either!
Vi Daley has always been pro-police
Say bye-bye to the superintendent's job, Northside!
What does that mean "always been pro-police?" Vi Daley is ANTI-CHICAGO. How can she be pro anything but herself?
henry Brinker Theres a name from my past
"Vi Daley has always been pro-police."
Are you on crack?
When that little girl got run over by the car that ran the stop sign by the zoo, instead of saying we need more police, she accused the police of not doing their jobs.
I'm now pissed that I never collected my $5 night of beer.
Hey Nothside, your are pissed because you lost a free ber, but you turned down a double saw when a double saw meant something?
