Rahm Running
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is feeling out other potential candidates for Chicago mayor.
West Side U.S. Rep. Danny Davis met with Emanuel last night. Chicago Ald. Thomas Tunney, 44th, said Emanuel called him Friday. North Side U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley is scheduled to meet with Emanuel this afternoon in Washington."I got the impression it is very likely he is going to do this,'' said Davis, who spoke to Emanuel for about half an hour at the Caucus Room, a D.C. restaurant at the chief of staff's request. "We talked about, if we were to become candidates, what kind of campaigning that should be done — that it's important to try and keep the city as harmonized as possible and that the city not become split and divided.
"Whoever is campaigning should have that uppermost in their minds. And we both assured each other that, should we become candidates, that would be our approach and would be our tactics," said Davis, who is gathering signatures for his own potential mayoral campaign.

If he runs and wastes his money,
I will do all in my power to raise voter awareness to;
"NOT VOTE FOR RAHM"!!!!!
He is a larger part of the Problem and Not the solution!
Either him or Dart people. I hate to say this but Dart will support the police more.
"Rahm is probably telling everyone, 'Look what happened to JJJ. You'd hate for that to happen to you, wouldn't you?' This is exactly who we don't need for Chicago." -- SCC
As a dual-citizenship member of a foreign military service, one wonders at how much quiet assistance in dirt-digging will be available to Emanuel from his country's intelligence apparatus.
Two words -- "Amdocs" and "Comsense."
you want to see this city become a Detriot..... just let assholes like this one set up the next wave of corruption....
I'll be the one in the front of the crowd with my torch and pitchfork at the ready.
Yea. BUT look at the other people running. who is better? (that actually stands a shot) Meeks? Davis? Guttierrez? Dart (ha). Rahm will be business as usual, but he's a thug and bully that can run this city. i hear he may be police friendly to an extent.
one things for sure, its not going to be a conservative republican so we have to choose the lesser evil.
Rahm Emanuel is a no good bastard. I wouldn't vote for him to replace Todd Stroeger.
Any City worker who votes for this cutthroat politician needs to have their head examined.
Let the foul mouthed ballerina stay in DC. Obama's first screw up was making this guy his Chief of Staff.
I'm glad he's no longer my Congressman--sending dead fish to people--acting like a jackass stabbing a steak and uttering to kill people who have a difference of opinion. Confronting other lawmakers nude in the shower....
Why would I want this bully psycho as my Mayor?
I can agree with Rahm about Jesse Jr. I'll add "We don't need Rahm either!" :)
Rahm will follow the Daley template that he helped create: Eliminate minority rivals and bamboozle the black masses.
SCUM OF THE EARTH...
I think his "Fuck the UAW" remark just about sums up his civic minded mentality. Oh, yeah, he'll bring people together alright.
I think it's pretty clear that Daley was TOLD to step down.
Now why would Rahm want to be Mayor?
Hmmmmmm.
watch some mere POs to move up the ranks then
Vote for anyone but Rham!
Talk about a carpetbagger.
Rahm has done tons for veterans. Just look at the Post 9-11 GI Bill. Helps Resv and National Guard who serve on active duty to pay for college or their kids. -Semper Fi
Rahm's uncle was a sgt in 17?
This guy is dangerous to rank and file Officers, he has already stated how much he hates unions to the UAW and how they should be busted. If he becomes Mayor it's just another insider of the Daley crime family trying to keep the status quo. He is quietly meeting other candidates and threating them to drop out stating he's the front runner and has King Shortshanks's blessing but can't come out because of backlash from the public for the King! Just another lying politican willing to do anything to get the office, The story on JJ Jr has his stink all over it.
This guy is BAAAAAAAD for Chicago!
This guy is quilty by assocoation, elect him and you'll have Obama running the city only on a smaller scale, but equally devastating. and most definately anti-police.
tell your friends and families and co-workers DO NOT SUPPORT HIM
Tom Dart is running and will win election in Feb 2011 with 53 % of vote . He's honest and has name recognition . He'll clean up city.
Tom , campaign on reducing number of alderman , reducing exempts in CPD and get rid of gold braid pension in CPD . Belive me you might lose 100 exempt votes but will pick up thousands from rank and file blue shirts .
Good Luck and hope FOP backs you.
Also offer that Hoffman a job as Inspector General to finish up when stopped him from going after corrupt aldercreatures.
Residency Question:
Did Rahm register to vote in Washington DC?
If he did he swore before a judge of the election commissioners that he was a legal resident of Washington DC - the same applies if he live in a Maryland suburb.
In Illinois I believe, he has to be a Illinois resident for 1 year before he can run for office.
What driver's license does Rahm carry, an Illinois or Washington DC one?
I think Rahm is going to have to answer many residency questions before he runs for office in Illinois.
Emmanuel is the architect of this OBAMA nightmare. These people are the legal definition of " CHAMPAGNE COMMUNISTS ". It all about them.

-------------------------------
Tom Dart all the way to the fifth floor!
He has the confidence of former Sheriff Michael Sheahan who was always pro-police.
Admittedly, I grew up in the 19th Ward and liked the Sheahan family. Even after his ascension to higher office, Michael Sheahan was always approachable. He is a great guy and was a fantastic alderman.
Tom Dart has benefited from his association with the Sheahan family. He is well respected in his own right and has done an excellent job as Sheriff.
Tom Dart has always supported organized labor and attended our political PAC functions. Most of the other wannabe mayors couldn't be bothered mixing with the unwashed masses who compromise a significant portion of the City work force.
I've never seen Rambo at our functions which suggests that he doesn't give a damn about us. He made the remark to "fuck the unions" in reference to the UAW. He's made millions as an investment banker prior to the fallout of the banking industry.
Tom Dart is the better choice and is concerned about middle class working families. Rahm is all about Rahm.
fuck this guy. We want to get rid of the machine, not get a new driver for it. You gotta be stupid to think this guy is good for chicago. He's out of touch. He knows NOTHING about the average person and what they go thru.
Get the message out there now....RAHM STAY OUT OF CHICAGO AND IT'S POLITICS!
Looks like Dart is rolling over and getting out of the way for Rahm.
CHICAGO (WBBM) - Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is denying what sources told the Associated Press Wednesday.
Dart says he feels he has too much on his plate right now to run for Chicago mayor.
Lisa Madigan leaves door open for Chicago mayor run
Attorney general silent on whether she will complete third term if re-elected
wasn't there something like 5 months ago, where Obama suggested Daley step down and let younger blood like Rahm run?
My thinking is that Daley will retire after Christmas or the 1st of the yr and appoint Rahm, so stupid people will vote for the guy in office. This will give Rahm a heads up with the stupid people.
One liberal steps down (more likely forced down) to be replaced by a psychopathic rabid liberal who thinks he's a mobster. No thanks, I think I'll vote for Dart.

Amen good point and I wouldn't call him the lesser of (2,3,4) evils

Daley had nothing left to beg, borrow or steal to feed the crime machine. When he cannot move the concrete trucks, then he must go.
Rahm the Bully, has alway be in every game for himself. Now the Star of Obama is burning itself out and falling fast. America realized it's great mistake and will not vote for that Socialist again. Obama will be a loser in the next election.
RAHM IS JUMPING THE OBAMA SHIP BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT IS SINKING AND HE WANT TO BE FAR AWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENS.
Register and Vote!
FUTURE HEADLINE:
Rahm Rams CPD!
Really, really glad I'm gone.
Good luck brothers and sisters in blue.

Really????? Ask the Police that already work for him. 95% of them want him to run for Mayor,so we can get rid of him and all the lawyer's.
Who dropped the dime on Jesse Jr.
#1 Rahim
#2 Daley
#3 Guttierrez
#4 Dart
All of the above
Tom Dart does not support concealed carry , vote for Christopher Cooper ex marine , ex cop, present lawyer, he gets it !
A VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT IS A VOTE FOR COMMUNISM
Dart will support the police more... right Crook County CLOUT worse than city CLOUT. Sure bend over unless you have a phone call. PLEASE Dart is not the answer
Dart = Daley and you like all the BS in Cook County LoL He is a Machine Guy and Daley has you fooled
Rahm is a bad choice & DART is also a terrible choice. We voted for Dart & looked forward to his arrival as Sheriff. Now we hope he gets the job as Mayor just to get rid of him. He is terrible & does nothing for the police. He is no good & you will regret the day he arrives as Mayor, guaranteed.
Sadly, you will probably end up with one of these 2 losers & it will get even worse. You may be wishing for the return of Daley & Weis-el.
Good luck CPD....
Christopher Cooper is a vote for Obama. Don't vote for him
Rahm Rams CPD!
Really, really glad I'm gone.
Good luck brothers and sisters in blue
?????? Based on what? His uncle is a ret cpd sgt
Who are the Republicans puting up? Do we get a quality alternative or the same goofy choices from the other side. It has to be a person that has done something substantial and that means not a CPD LT that ran for county board. How about Jack Omalley

Not so fast Devil Dog. Congress is still revising this bill because it didn't go far enough in helping the Guard and Reserves. I'm an Iraq Veteran and was told I don't qualify because I was discharged from the reserves.
Where is David Hoffman? He is the better and best candidate.

Devil Dog Replies- Did you deploy down range? If you did they you get benefits.!yr for every year in the fight. If you sat at home then =NO. It's for warriors-Semper Fi
DAVID HOFFMAN IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR MAYOR. WE ALSO NEED TYO GET RID OF THE 50 ALDERMAN.....WHAT A MASSIVE WASTE.
Raham is the very imbodiment of silent rage,don't believe it,get on his bad side and you will think the devil himself is hot on your heels. Look into those eyes whenever he is on your screen and you will see the ruthlessness dwelling there,just under the surface. When it comes to politics he will make Daley look like your daate at the prom. Remember this,Daley was/is a pro at "appearences" meaning he could give you the appearence of everything is not my fault but the fault of others due to incompetence then force you to fall on the sword. Rahm is a completely different story,he will light the fire,put butter in that skillet while you are standing there. Then Rahm will hang you upside down and slit your throat then throw you in that skillet to fry like a side of beef all in full view of the public.
Cong. DAnny Davis is a dimwit and is only in office because there was no one else to run against him when he ran for office his first term.
Ald Sharon Dixon ran against the last election but her career has been hurt by the out of control violence, and poverty that the west side suffers.
Although Danny Davis has done nothing to alleviate any of these conditions either, he is a male, so in this currently anti-matriarchal culture only, males can do no wrong.
There is no way in hell I would vote for Danny Davis as Mayor or dog catcher.
Correct me if I'm but how is Rahm-rod Emanuel able to run for mayor of Chicago? You have to be a resident of the city for at least one year prior to election day. Rahm-rod has been in Washington DC with Barry and the other crooks. Rahm-rod doesn't have an residence in the city. Rahm-rod doesn't pay taxes on his property here in Chicago because its registered to a non for profit organization. The organization has two members him and his wife. So is that property his house and he is scamming the city or is it a business and he doesn't have a residence in the city. Where are all these "investigative" reports in Chicago? I would love to hear the Blago tapes with Rahm. This guy is nothing but a crook and a bully.
Ummm, guess who needs to pass the ordinance to reduce the number of Alderman????? Yep, the 50 Alderman! Not gonna happen no matter who is Mayor. Any lawyer know if a voter referendum could work instead?
And Dart is running, just waiting until after the Sheriff's race in November.

No vote here for the Rahmfather....
GO DART!
I'm still laughing at the guy here who likened Obama to a "one-shot disposable enema." So true...
Me, I'm waiting for Michelle to pull a Kitty Dukakis. I don't know how much more of this she can stand. "I need to get out of the White House" has been a constant theme from her almost before she even got in.
We need a voter registration drive against Rahm Emanuel. We don't need another dictator. No way should this guy get his foot in the door. Someone has dirt on this guy, and it needs to come out.
'Rahm will follow the Daley template that he helped create: Eliminate minority rivals and bamboozle the black masses.'
That strategy seems to have already served Daley, Weis and Masters (3M) well up until now.
Either him or Dart people. I hate to say this but Dart will support the police more. 9/23/2010 12:24:00 AM
No, "we" don't have to settle for Rahm or Dart. What's stopping the police and similar minded people from rallying around a Republican, Green or Party pro-police mayoral candidate? As a civilian, I'll donate my time and energy to this cause. :)
one things for sure, its not going to be a conservative republican so we have to choose the lesser evil. 9/23/2010 01:57:00 AM
No, "we" don't have the choose the lesser evil, which is how "we" wound up with Daley II. "We" can find a Conservative Republican. "We" can find a pro-police candidate. "We" have an opportunity to bury the Daley Machine and maybe some other Democrats, but only if "we" stick together and fight.

Bess Truman often stayed away from the White House.

Yeah, but I mean more the quietly-bundled-out-a-side-door-wrapped-in-a-blanket, "given something" and whisked to Bethesda Naval Hospital for "nervous exhaustion" sort of midnight exit, while the photogs try to grab a grainy shot with their long lenses in the poor light. The woman strikes me as "having issues" -- as being wrapped too tight to be able to adapt much more.

JAYZUS CHRIST!
Is this bullshit quickly and readily verifiable?
Rahm Emmanuel and his wife pay no Chicago property taxes because their house is listed as owned by a not-for-profit organization of which he and his wife are members? O_o o_O ???
HOW DO THESE MUTHERFUCKERS GET AWAY WITH BULLSHIT LIKE THIS??
You civilians and anal-whore media types who love to shit talk and begrudge the Police every damn little thing and get whipped up in a holy frenzy about how out of control and lacking in integrity we are and THIS TYPE OF SHIT goes on on a daily basis? (as pointed out in this blog)
We draw one conclusion.
Most people in Chicago who adhere to the above stinkin' thinkin' are genuinely full of shit!
For cryin' out loud!
Coppers are begrudged a crust of bread and the time to eat it in this town.
Let a Policeman even ENTERTAIN the notion of shady shit like this and motherfuckers will be howling for execution by firing squad and j-fled will only be to happy to load the damn rifles himself!
We wonder how long that property has been off the tax rolls?
Was assistance in this fuckery in furtherance rendered by the city?
These fools in Daley Inc. have raised shitting on the hunted and captive tax payers to a sublime art form.
Shit like this is a CONSTANT source of aggravation for we the nonclouted and nobodies anybody sent.
What a bunch of amoral, nihilistic, corrupt assholes!
We need a night cap for our night cap!
ah Rahm .. the $15 million man!
Went to work on a ComEd deal w/ some nonsense company in the private sector ... and made a big chunk of change in 1.5 years. Hurray Rahm. I'd leave government to do that too.
Lucky they found such a talented guy, and just out of the blue, too!
He has a degree in communications. If you've ever wathced the Simpsons you'd know it is a "phony degree."
Why didn't they knock on my door to broker the deal that was probably already fixed anyhow?
Think maybe Rahm used his government connections for his personal benefit? Nah, he was qualified, really!
GOOF
His father is a documented terrorist says this article.
