Rahm Closing In on 50%
- Rahm Emanuel is closing in on the majority he needs to end the mayor's race next month and avoid a one-on-one runoff, a new Tribune/WGN poll shows.
The former White House chief of staff had the support of 44 percent of those surveyed. Emanuel enjoys a wide lead among women and white voters and has substantial support among African-American and Latino voters.
Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun and onetime Chicago Board of Education President Gery Chico are battling for second place in hopes of advancing to an April runoff. But they also must stop Emanuel from getting more than 50 percent and winning outright on Feb. 22.
Braun had 21 percent support and Chico 16 percent, with City Clerk Miguel del Valle at 7 percent and 9 percent undecided. The poll of 708 likely registered voters was conducted Saturday through Wednesday and has an error margin of 3.7 percentage points.
And Braun is in second??? What the hell is in the water here?

That means get your silly asses out, get your families asses out, get your neighbors out and make your difference!
Did this same poll put Dorothy Brown as the runaway front runner for Cook County Board President? I wonder who they are polling, people in their office.
Rahm is going after our pensions. Call it out everyone needs to be aware that he wants to do away with it all.
Like we told you in the beginning, Chico is just a cockblocker. Then again, Rahm thought we'd pull together tighter than the mealy-mouthed, wrecking crew we've showed ourselves to be. Seems all we're really good at is unceasing bitching. Chico's gonna come out smelling like a rose, Rahm will rule the small part of the world Bill Daley and Madigan allow him and we can get back to studying for promotions we know we'll never get and working for supervisors that don't know a verb from an adjective. Or an objective.
I will say it again. If De Valle and Chico do not join forces I will vote for Carol Mosley Braun to keep Rahm out.
If Chico and De Valle Join together, I will vote for Chico.
God Help us!
This is like a sick joke on all of us. How can that idiot Braun possibly be in 2nd place? And could the incredibly biased media coverage of the candidates possibly have anything to do with these wacked out poll numbers?
And Braun is in second???
------
Braun's brother was at the sergeant's union meeting Thursday night. (He is a sergeant in Area 2)
He began yelling and saying it's "bullshit" that his sister did not receive an endorsement.
Supposedly the questionnaire that all the candidates were sent was never returned by Braun.
Maybe she left it under a couple cases of that fucking herbal tea that she can't sell.
Due to the APATHY of eligible voters, including CPD and CFD families, friends and neighbors, Rahm Emanuel will be our next mayor. Now let's all join hands behind our beloved Mare's heir apparent and sing Kumbaya.
Early voting throughout the City begins on Monday, January 31st. If in doubt about Rahm's candidacy and "integrity", do NOT vote on or before the February 22nd election. If you are not registered to vote and oppose the Rahmfather, there is no need to register to vote before next Tuesday's deadline.
After all, it's da Chicago Way!.
Have people lost their mind?
Look at the huge bump in numbers Rahm is receiving after he states he wants to cut our pensions. His research shows that the police votes he loses will be made up ten fold by those who want to see the police get reamed.
The more he says he will screw public employees the more votes he is getting from our fine citizens.
And he is doing it with outside money and big business contributions.
And you just wait till the Hollywood big shots start coming here giving endorsements like Bill Clinton did. Rahm will steamroller everyone else. then it will be our turn to be rolled over.
It is Gery Chico or else be prepared for a very unhappy rest of your career.
Now go make arrests and write tickets!
700 voters polled . what the fuck does that mean . i could go out to the far north side and poll and the far southside and get completely diffrent results. the press is playing with the numbers just like J FED
Called bs poll. Who did they pole? Everyone from n/w side of Rogers pk. Sample all 50 wards results way different.
A's you have been saying, who controls the media?
Tobias has CCG.
I haven't met one person who as said they are voting for this guy. Who/where are they polling?
Mike Shields for FOP PREZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Read and have a laugh at what our "leader" has become.
If I went to the Superintendent's office and asked who they chose for Supe, I bet they would all pick Weis too.
Rahm is not closing in on 50%. The media is smelling an upset and this is their way of killing Chico's momentum. The Reader has Chico on the front page looking like a regular guy , not Satan or Boris Karlov. There has been a groundswell of support for Chico. Don't freak out. That is what they want.
Speaking of election tactics... Chico has to go after Rahm un-mercifully. Chico better stand up and tell Chicago that he is ...
1. not satan (they will get it)
2. does not look like a horror movie villian (they will get it)
3. never gave any co-worker a dead fish.
4. never made sexist derogatory remarks to co-workers.
5. Has lived in Chicago as required by law.
6. Has seen the light and now knows that daley and his family are thieves.
7. Will dump J-Fraud and all the rest of his desperate housewives that he brought in to ruin CPD.
8. Start funding the pensions with TIF money because it is only fair.
9. Not act like a mob boss and stop the dirty deals of city hall.
That is the roadmap to Chico victory. If he does not play hardball they will steamroll him. He has got to take it to the hoop now that he has momentum.
I was feeling really good about voting for the shields ticket, but then i saw the first trustee listed as D.A from 014th district. How the blank did this kid make it on the ticket. Greg Bella is once again my guy.
If Rahm wins we are doomed!
He is not a supporter of the City Workers! Expect broken promises from him.
When Rahm wins the Mayor election I will do as I am doing today: NOTHING. I will continue to watch re-runs of Seinfeld while I am at work, do my homework, go shopping at Walgreens and hook up for dinner with the civilians that I pick up while I am work...
VOTE FOR CHICO NOW!!!!!!
Dateline; Harare, Zimbabwe..." nearly 1/3 of Zimbabwes registered voters are dead, and others appear to be babes or up to 120 years old researchers said Friday calling for the list to be overhauled so that the upcoming election cannot be rigged " Associated Press release.
Same thing in Chicago except the election will be rigged. Remember old man Daley fine tuned election fraud to an art form. Remember the Kennedy - Nixon election?
When Emmanuel gets elected, and he will, Chicago will be right up there with 3rd word countries.
Something to be proud about, eh?
How about a 2 for 1 pension deal? Work 2 years, get 1 year of pension. This might just save the budget.

OT - Here's yet another article about what amazing things Brett and Jody are doing:
http://www.suntimes.com/3295264-417/intelligence-crime-police-weis-department.html
I Don't beleive anything the Tribune prints. It's all bs hype.
To my fellow brothers and sisters,
I beg you all to set aside your problems with one another and unite to vote against Rahm. Anyone but him!!!! It will be like having J-Fled in City hall.
Of course Braun is in second. That's the whole point of having a nutty black candidate. She'll get enough black vote to beat out Chico for second, but then in a one-on-one with Rahm, she gets her ass handed to her.
OT> the ny times has a report about an idea floating around D.C. to let states declare bankruptcy,to get out of debt,including public pensions!! and so it begins.
Better get behind CMB. Chico and the other guy cancel each other out...or else no pension for us...
chicago ain't ready for reform
OT- Check out J-Fraud as he strikes a standard bodybuilding pose in front of a TV traffic map. He looks like a traffic newscaster on frank main's latest stupid article in the slum times. The fun never ends with this goof. What an idiot.
I look at it this way. Only 708 people were polled. Also, since the Trib seems to favor him and is already giving him plenty of free press, this is just another way.
If they can make people believe that he is the predicted winner, then people may stay home or vote for him figurng he is going to win anyway.
Don't be fooled......VOTE
What's in the water is called "Chico ran a multinational law firm into the ground".
I keep seeing Rahm painted in such glowing terms in the Media. You have to be blind not to see the bias in the mainstream media. Chicago, where the 4th Estate is bought and paid for.
This vicious, ego maniacal little man will be the end of this great city.
ot-
looked out and just saw the streets blocked off on chicago at state, probably all the way west. then i saw an ambulance followed by several marked and unmarked, lights and sirens. please don't tell me something bad.... on furlo. yay.
It never ceases to amaze me that voters keep voting for the same corrupt leaders and then wonder why their taxes went up, why the parking meters got privatized, etc....
It is absolutely sickening to see that voters continue to vote for the same familiar faces and then wonder why things are so bad.
Honestly, we get what we deserve. Now, some of you may say "well then who the hell am I going to vote for?" Well, in my case, I am going to vote for John Hu and write his name in. He is not a politician and just a businessman. He got sick of the high cost of doing business and decided to run for mayor. He even got all the signatures required, but the corrupt machine still figured out how to take him off the ballot. Some of you may say "well if I vote for this John Hu guy or any other person, then my vote was wasted". And that is the main reason why the same old people keep getting elected. If the entire electorate decided to vote for their own candidate of choice, the outcome would be much different.
Today's front page of New York Times ran article with dark days ahead regarding our pensions. If Rahm wins we are in deep trouble. Get ready to work for the candidate that will save our pensions.

"Rahm Closing In on 50%"
---
We police officers face no greater danger to our livelihood and future and pensions than Rahm Emmanuel.
The men with guns we can deal with, we have more guns and better training and we are prepared for that. But now we will be attacked with an unrelenting, unmerciful, unholy force from within, Rahm Emanuel. And it is looking increasingly like he will be our next Mayor.
It is a bitterly cruel irony that after suffering under 21 years of Daley rule that we should be force fed someone who is many times worse!
We face danger every day to our lives and health once we don the uniform. Now we will face constant attack on our paychecks and pensions from our supposed next leader.
And we are supposed to work for this man? We are supposed to lay it on the line during our tours of duty and then read in the news how he will reward us by stealing our pensions from us because his predecessor drove the City to the brink of bankruptcy?
We should go to work with that in our collective consciousness?
Will Rich Daley take less of a pension? Will Gene Schulter take less than his due of 80% of that aldermanic salary, plus COLA, for life? Will any of them take one cent less than what they vote for each other?
I doubt it.
And for that we get spit at, shot at, kicked, punched, have cars aimed at us, work crappy hours and more.
BULLSHIT!
I don't know how to fight back on this one. But I do know this, we should ALL be mad as hell! A two tiered pension system isn't enough for the bastards?
Fuck this evil monster Rahm Emanuel! Fuck him! Fuck him! Fuck him!
The polls were taken at two locations, Evergreen Plaza and Lincolnwood Town Center.
I think I'm finally ready to admit that maybe the city is lost. There are just too many people on the dole to expect any reasonable outcome to anything important, especially elections and fiscal policies.
The whole system is rigged to keep the poor so fat on gov't cheese that they will be too reliant on it to want change. There aren't enough motivated working class citizens to rid us of the bums that are continually in power. (See the last election of Madigan and Quinn.) I know I'm preaching to the choir.
Please wake up people.
Chicago is like an abused spouse who goes back to the abuser.
'The poll of 708 likely registered voters was conducted Saturday through Wednesday and has an error margin of 3.7 percentage points.

it's the bullshiters.
to wit:
polling 708 'likely voters' is bullshit.
error margins are bullshit.
the media is full of bullshit.
and rahmbo is the source of all bullshit.
fuck bullshit.
and the fucking bullshitters who shovel the fucking bullshit.
SCC said...

That's the power of ONE CONSENSUS BLACK CANDIDATE.
Instead of spreading the Black vote around among several black candidates, they can zero in on ONE and just try to make THAT idiot the Mayor!!!
Hopefully, people are screwing with the pollsters and the ballerino will be in for a rude awakening on election day.
Mayor Chico kind of sounds cute, don't ya think?
Let's really talk it up and convince people in Chicago, not the Oak Parkers, that we simply cannot have the ballerino as mayor.
I wish we had an alternative to all of them but, alas, we don't.
OT - I thought FLOP was never going to hire Arb. Benn again after the 10% contract FLOP got. It is like the movie "The Shining" Benn is back running the election comm. The FLOP must have cut a deal!
This is Dangerous people, if this guy gets in, KISS YOUR PENSION GOODBYE !! You think Daley was Bad, this guy makes Daley look like a cupcake!! This guy is PURE EVIL and will make our lives a living hell !!!
I attended the 41st Ward forum last night. Great turnout.
Candidate (Barbara Ateca) Not too far into her speech did she say "... I'm not that great in front of a live camera" oops! camera shy? Your out!
Candidate (Patrick Murphy) Experienced in urban planning. He would be in asset to Dept. of Housing. Clean up all that mess.
Candidate (Maurita Gavin) Currently Alderman Doherty's assistant. All she is going to do is continue where Doherty left off which I believe the 41st Ward is in need of a new regime. Out with the old and in with the new. She's still set in Doherty's ways.
Candidate (Brock Merk) Anyone see the movie " Mr. Woodcock?" Need I saw more?
Candidate (Richard Gonzalez) Not Irish but can get the job done.
Candidate (Jim Mullen) Did not attend. Endorsed by
F.O.P. I wonder what they based they're decision on.
Candidate (Maurita Gavin) Not a mean streak. She doesn't belong to a union. I'm wondering if she'll put up a good
fight in the city council for city workers.
Candidate (John Quinn) Soft spoken. I saw him more than I heard him.
if the Rahmfather wins it, Chicago is in trouble...
Pick up the reader-- Chico and the man- real scary article, Truth be told.
Maybe the devil you know is better then the devil you don't know- My neighbor worked for the school board and he said Chico and Huberman were the worst.
What to do- I can only talk to my family and make a decision on the two evils. Think for yourselves boys.
BULLSHIT!
Local media shilling for the angry little fairy godfather flying around with a magical asshole on a stick instead of a star...
Rahm is trying to flat-out BUY this election.
"Resistance is futile..."
Called shot of bullshit, corner pocket on those numbers too...
*clack*
Repetition of lies until they become truth. If the electorate is brainwashed into buying into the "Rahm = Juggernaut" propaganda, then voter turn out will be suppressed.
Fuck These Arrogant Pricks!
Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin would be giggling like an obnoxious gaggle of giddy school girls if they were around to witness this.
This is typical Daley Inc. fuckery as an art and science.
Control of the media means being able to dictate the agenda.
Sinister shit...
Emmanuel = "Darth Evil L'il Mofo"
Learned his chops from Crime King Shorty bka "The Cloven Hoofed Imp."
The captive and hunted on the streets (literally and figuratively) middle class Chicago tax payer is doomed to slavery to support the catered to constituents.
The rev'runs, alderfools, liberal yellow-pinkies, mope-rah, dope-rah and others congratulate themselves
on "winning."
Those who have and have worked hard for it must now give it to those who haven't the foggiest notion about work, sacrifice, having constructive goals and the discipline to delay self gratification to achieve those goals.
Disenchanted much?
This city has gone mad.
After the ballots for the mayoral poll started coming into FOP Rahm said he was looking at changing the pensions for those who are working NOW not just the future hires. Based upon that and what was said at the roll call I sat in after I mailed in my ballot was why they endorsed Chico. It is one thing to go out and march for 90 minutes and then go to happy hour for three hours. But if we what to be respected as a political force we have to vote in high numbers and get family and friends to the polls too. Why have the city and state continued to throw money in that black hole in the ground called the CPS? Because teachers vote and their political action committee’s give money to candidates. Time to become a political force or farce, the choice is ours.

Here is an example of media bias against police. A man is a reserve police officer for nine months and resigned in 1981,,,yes 30 years ago after less than a year on the job in a RESERVE capacity which I guess means he wasn't even a full-time officer,,,,and he is called an ex-cop,,,,
civilian post.
Stay warm and safe this weekend officers
Voting is nothing more then the illusion of having a choice or the ability to change government. The bastards with all the money will get what they want when they want it. Your piss-ass sorry vote does nothing more then amuse those in on the fix and frustrate you the voter.
Mayors, Adlerman or whatever- there is no caring about the greater good- just the "me" factor.
Isn't it sad to wake up one day, after spewing our words at the shitbags on the streets to get a job and become someone, only find out they were smarter (in that case) then we were. It's beginning to feel that way- the working man IS a sucker. LINK card (money), section 8 (homes) and free cell phones- and we are stupid enough to keep working hard for those same things that are giving away to people who don't give a fuck or want to contribute.
Maybe it's time we start not caring too.
The Police
Did anyone think different?
CPD closing in on 30%...of our pension.
Del Valle should drop out and support Chico
Sorry but it won't sound pretty. The majority of the black vote will vote for the black candidate, even if the candidate is a goof! Look at Marion Berry in DC, or Charlie Rangel in NY.
this poll is bullshit... slanted/spin.... no f**king way... don't believe the hype... people being paid off... carol is an idiot... don't have a single black or Hispanic friend that supports her or Rahm....
A ploy by the media to encourage other candidate supporters to not vote, which sadly might work
How can any sane person vote for this guy. He's part of the problem, Freddie Mack, slimy deals. God help us all if this ni rod gets into office.
the media has already declared him the winner. just as they did with Obama when he was running for office.
Miguel del Valle, please do the right thing. Toss your support to Chico or Braun. It might help to keep Rahm from getting the 50% + 1 in February, otherwise, you could be a spoiler and will forever be known as Rahm's shill.
Get your education ! Masters degree , ect. This ship is sailing or shall I say sinking ! I have less than ten and waiting to see what happens. If they take more from our pension, I'm thinking twice about doing this job! Forget about pro active work !
Yeah, work 30 years and get 60% of your pay ????????? That will total about 40-45k after taxes if your lucky. Enjoy those golden years with a job at wall mart !
Be safe everyone
RAHM IS DA MAN!!!!!!!!!
If you need to have a job done by a coward...
He failed in Washington, so lets put him in office here in Chicago and watch him fail again
good for the city
Rahm got like 40% of the black vote according to that poll in the Tribune. Lets hope he changes his mind about his attitude towards our pension
what a bunch of bull shit the media is so fked up it think by making this low life head of the news, will make a difference in this election very unfair media practice everyone should be treated the same no one is better than the other ,this might as well be a Communist city anyone who vote this ignorant, cocky attitude low life , remember u get what u vote for so think before u vote .
anyone who has dirt on this clown speak now .
It means your beloved FLOP picked a Horse that will place Show. Not very reassuring....
i can't see it ... makes no nense
Time for Del Valle to drop out.
Hey SCC don't know if you have seen this, but all of Chicago should see this before casting a vote in an elec
tion involving Rahm Emanuel. It is very long, but well researched and full of background of Emanuel and the Obama/Chicago corruption.
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/1011.html
GO BEARS!
Rahm (the bum) has purchased plenty of media time and as such; the sheep of Chicago will vote accordingly. WTF
Rahm E. is going to sink this town into Lake Michigan!
He's talking about raising taxes and cutting things even before he gets into office!
These people are just plain stupid and this town just plain sucks!

"What the hell is in the water here?"
-----------------------------------
The same thing that's always been in the water since the 1920's and probably earlier, and it's this simple.
Chicago is corrupt. There are enough corrupt people here to override the ones that aren't. A lot of the people that will say they are moral and stand for doing the right thing are lying, they really aren't/don't. Plus they are really stupid. That's what's in the water here, corruption, greed, and stupidity.
Nothing in the water - the Media is in the tank. Not hard to figure out, tons of free publicity a la Tribune this morning as Exhibit A: Name "EMMANUAL" in bold in the headline and picture on the front page. How often have you seen same with Chico? Never.
Time to leave this state.
It seems people here just enjoy being ripped off and royally screwed.
CPD look out if Rahm wins, he's vindictive and does'nt forget.
Let's not panic yet. A poll of 780 voters? Where did they take it; at a Jewish old folks home in Rogers Park?
I never thought I would say it... but, I wish Daley was running again. Looks like rahm is going to win and i have a feeling that we are gonna be missing richy in about 6 months
SCREW this damn poll. How damn scientific can it be? There was an article in the scum-times the other day that said that there are 1,391,565 registered voters in Chicago. I'm not a math wiz so I am not sure what percentage the 708 likely registered voters would be.1/10 of 1% maybe. But I went to the city board of election web site and found that there are 2,570 precints in this city. So that would mean that they asked l1 likely registered voter for every
3 1/2 precints in the city. WOW that is very sceintific. Next they will say that the poll was conducted in the area around the north side Ravenwood area. Rahm backyard.
A big F.U. to the poll takers and the twisting that they do to try to brainwash voters to pick someone.
Are the city residents as stupid as I think they are?? You've got to be an idiot to vote for Rahm. He's in it for the money and nothing else. He doesn't have a vested interest in Chicago other than his bank account. That little 3/4% tax reduction means shit when he is dipping into our pensions, taxing things like grooming our pets, and generally ruining the city. Don't bitch if you don't get out and vote against this guy. He WILL ruin this city. He is evil.
Look who and where they did the study.
we've getting screwed said...
This is like a sick joke on all of us. How can that idiot Braun possibly be in 2nd place? And could the incredibly biased media coverage of the candidates possibly have anything to do with these wacked out poll numbers?
1/21/2011 08:06:00 AM
==================================
Braun has that much because about 40% of the registered voters in Chicago are black according to the sun-times earlier this week.
Burge 4.5 years!!! Why risk anything for this corrupt backwards system? Protect your own and get out as quickly as you can. Anything else is for fools!!!!!
Rahm is selling the notion that he is going to cut our pensions to a lot of people who lost a ton of money in their 401k's. What he won't tell them is under state law he can't. So like Obama, Rahm is just saying what he needs to say to get elected.
Is this wuss davelle staying in the race to cockblock chico? Is davelle rahm's secret weapon?
People of Chicago do you really want your police dept. to be a low wage low benefit job? This dept. like all professions has had its scandals. But lets look at other countries, take Mexico as an example. Police officer in Mexico is not a very good job thus, for the most part, less than quality people apply. Even in Illinois towns like Ford Heights have had major problems. When a police officer is tested, screened and finally hired the model sought is not even what he or she will do on the job but what they won't. A police officer is granted a great deal of power, what could a less desirable candidate do? Do you want your daughter pulled over by a less costly, lower calibre officer on a dark night? I don't. Citizens of Chicago you can complain all you want about public sector unions and how unfair things are, the truth is most police and fire retire with decent pensions. Not six figures, those are reserved for political sellout's , manager's who fancy themselves leaders. But I believe citizens of Chicago when that ambulance or squad car pulls up you want a quality person to get out. As far as this new attitude being pushed by the powers that be that the only compenstaion we need on this job is a fulfilling a sense of duty. You would never say that to a doctor or lawyer. We do, do this job to serve but not to be used. Its an old saying, but true. You will get what you pay for.
No Pensions necessary if Rahm wins. He will just fix up all the projects that are left and let retired city workers live in them for free. They will give you a link card and a free cell phone.
Between the CPD and CFD unions, there is well over 20,000 members, plus family and friends. Volunteer at Chico's offices--He just opened one at 103rd & Wood Sts. The firemen got Janey in back in 1979 (& the snow!). Let's have the coppers and firefighters get Chico in this year. Just say "no" to Rahm!
an Old Timer
I will say it again. If De Valle and Chico do not join forces I will vote for Carol Mosley Braun to keep Rahm out.
-----------------------------------
By not voting for Chico, you're assuring that Rahm will be facing Mosely Braun in the runoff. Rahm will win against Mosely Braun most assuredly.
You're still keeping Rahm out by not voting for him and denying him 51% in the first round. Chico needs the votes in the first round to advance.
It's a sad, desperate situation were facing and we are all powerless against it. God help us all when this George -Hamilton- looking- motherfucker gets elected and makes it priority one to further destroy the cpd and go after pensions and benefits. The Cpd will dive further into despair and disrepair and this city WILL BE ravaged by the beast. Welcome to the next Detroit motherfuckers.
If the entire electorate decided to vote for their own candidate of choice, the outcome would be much different.
1/21/2011 09:52:00 AM
they do.
the moochers vote for those who they know will continue to feed their moocher habits.
those who are being mooched off of vainly search the horizon for an honest candidate to vote for.
and the dead vote just as they are told to.
Maybe it's time we start not caring too.

The D.A running for trustee is the son, not the retired guy D.A. you might be thinking of.
Trustees are voted for individually, if you don't like one, vote for someone else, there is no straight ticket voting in the FOP election.
Same with the whole election, vote for individuals, everyone wants officers to vote for their entire ticket but realistically, that is unlikely to happen.
There, problem solved, now wait for your ballot to come in the mail.

Yes he can, if the state declares bankruptcy. That will even effect those currently retired. Start getting informed quit believing only what you want to hear.

That might be what I'll live on after all of you stupid bastards vote for Emanuel.
I've been following this dastardly dwarf's career since he was a congressman. He's been sending dead fish to people he's mad at, cornering naked congressmen in the shower of the congressional gym and brow beating them on things they had the nerve to do that HE didn't approve of.
Hey, dopes of the 5th congressional district, I imagine you're happy with all the work this evil elf did that had nothing to do with the 5th congressional district when he was elected to that seat. He was running around the country acting like he was the chairman of the democratic party and not the congressman of the 5th district of Illinois.
The garbage poll whose sole purpose to make it seem like the rahmster is an inevitable winner, when in fact no one likes him at all.
Chico and Del Valle will carry over 40% of the vote on the 22nd.
any sap that believes the ZELL/trib is a loser.
sorry to say the fix is in guys. you think they would just give bill daley that spot in washington without getting something in return? As far as rahm's residency; for the judge to say we'll let the voters decide, is a joke. i will still vote for chico but don't be surprised if rahm gets it.

Read this, at least it helps our pensions when it comes to the state filing bankruptcy Large states including Illinois are against the bill allowing states to file bankruptcy, which they cannot do now. Some help now we just have to battle Rahm
Ok Chico was one of many partners in a private law firm that went under.
Well Rahm was part of Freddie Mac which was about to go under then we the taxpayers were forced to bail them out with hundreds of billions of our $$.
Did Chicos firm get a public bailout? No. So which is worse?
Unit 021
It's nice that the laws were manipulated for this guy to run. If I lived out of the state for 2 years it would have been a big fat NO.
Time to retire and get the hell out of here.
The Mr. Woodcock analysis remark is hysterical, I love it. You got the point with regard to tough love.
Brock Merck
I'll be posting the video of the event
The bottom line is that Rahm will be mayor. The reason being the media potraying the average public worker as a millionaire when they retire. Coming from another state, I have never seen such hatred towards police, fire, teachers etc as it is here. Why?? Because the media portrays police, fire and teachers as the root of all evil. BTW has anyone seen the latest issue of Chicago magazine and how many pages of lawyers are in it from this state?? If anything, thats probably the actual reason why the State of Illinois is all fucked up! Do people realize that in the 70's president Carter era the recession was actually worse than it is now? Look it up. People don't talk about it because the media didn't tell you that everyday then like they do now!
Fuck rahm, fuck the city. Boys and girls grab your ankles because here it comes. No lube will be used enjoy
DON'T believe the Trib.It's just another Rahm lie being "Rahmmed down our throats".
Rahm will do what Obama's people did; convince everyone that the polls say that he has won already so why go out in the cold and vote for someone who will lose.
Also,
has any one else noticed...
that Rahm Emanuel...
in his campaign TV ads...
has adopted the Obama style of halting speech...
as if to give the listener a brief second...
to agree with each phrase he is saying.
I got a copy of this from a local nieghborhood newspaper near midwau airport. YIKES! WTF?
A Problem for Police;
Fire, City Employees
Rahm Erntnuel has one wotd for city workers who
have signed up to ring doorbells for his campaign.
Suckerrrrrs!
That's right. You heard it here first * ifcnly because
the so-called mainstream media in this city are ignoring
the sory and once again slanting news coverage in
favoroftheir anointed candidate. ,,
Leave it to New York Times reporter Dan Mihalopoulos
to break the news recently.
Rahm secretly plans to make deep and painflrl cuts
to clty pension benefits - not just to new hires, but to
men and women who have been on the job 10,20, 30
years. This includes police, fire, laborers and all city
workers.
That is radically different than what Gery Chico;
Carol Moseley Braun and Miguel Del Valle have proposed,
which are pension reductions only for new
hires.
According to the iy'el" York Times story, Rahm revealed
his secret plans in a closed-door meeting on
Dec. 15 with leaders of the Chicago Federation df
Labot. Rahm didn't count on you or me or any other
Chicago voters learning about this plan to cut pelsions.
When confronted by the New York Tlmes fbporter,
Rahm's campaign spokesman claiined that
Rahm plans to tell everyone about his plans to cut pensions
i'sometime in February."
Yeah, right. hobably at 9 am. Wednesday, Feb. 23
- the day after the primary.
Suckerrrrrsl
ff ""*. "f
nahm's secret plan continues to seep out
through nondoop news outlets - the New. York
Times, the Progress Illinois labor blog, neighborhoodhotebook.
cotn, community newspapers and sb
forth - tfu dov"ntown media, the Trib, Sun-Tirnas and
TV/radio news may be forced to at least acknowledge
the sbry. If that occurs, watch for the Emanuel campaign
to go into a full-blown, damage control spin
mode worthy of Rahm's political godfather, Mayor
Richaid M. Daley: deny, deny, deny, deflect, deflect,
deflect.
Then watch Rahm's paid lackeys in the Loop press
swallow it with a smile and then "reporto'the news to
you: Rahm was misquoted. Rahm was niisunderstood.
Rahm never said that. Rahm is like a good neighbor.
Rahm likes puppies.
Don't be upset with gentle, sweater-wearing Rahm.
Go back to sleep, voters.
The downtown media will also attack city workers,
as they usually do t- using words like "lavish" to describe
municipal pensions. As always, they will neglect
to say that the reason government pensioris pay
higher than private sector plans is that city workers
receive no Social Security benefits when they retire.
Shame on Rahm Emanuel for hiding his pension-cut
plans from the voters.
Shame oil most members of the Chicago Federation
of Labor for not blowing the whistle. Get ready city workers.... We are all going to be suckersssss.
Can you say oy vay? Get ready for rahm he going to win in first round chico getting flop endorsement is the kiss of death trust me get ready and hope for the best there are some tough times ahead for the city need a good lobbyist in springfield
Can you really believe the media?? how many people were polled?? a lot of ques.
Do you believe in the honesty of the ballots being counted in this city??
Braun's brother was at the sergeant's union meeting Thursday night. (He is a sergeant in Area 2)
He began yelling and saying it's "bullshit" that his sister did not receive an endorsement.
Yeah I would be pissed too if it meant the Sup. spot for me also
How many pensions is chico receiving from the city. or will he be receiving.
Like we told you in the beginning, Chico is just a cockblocker. Then again, Rahm thought we'd pull together tighter than the mealy-mouthed, wrecking crew we've showed ourselves to be. Seems all we're really good at is unceasing bitching. Chico's gonna come out smelling like a rose, Rahm will rule the small part of the world Bill Daley and Madigan allow him and we can get back to studying for promotions we know we'll never get and working for supervisors that don't know a verb from an adjective. Or an objective.
Yes indeed truth be told.
demigod....in his mind
"Around the hero everything turns into a tragedy"
And it will!
u ever wonder what an endorsement means?
FOP DIDNT DONATE CASH
FOP DIDNT DONATE SIGNS
FOP DIDNT HAVE ANY OF THE LARGE MEN IN SUITS WORK ANY AREA OF THE CITY.
FOP DIDNT GIVE OUT ITS MAILING LIST.
AND U THINK A COUPLE OF LINES IN A NEWS LETTER IS GOING TO SWAY VOTES!!!
LOOK AROUND ON ELECTION DAY AND U WILL SEE PLUMBER OUT ON THE STREETS WORKING THE ELECTION.
I PASS BY MANY OFFICERS HOUSES AND DONT EVEN SEE A SIGN IN THE WINDOW GREAT EFFORT.
Rahm is selling the notion that he is going to cut our pensions to a lot of people who lost a ton of money in their 401k's. What he won't tell them is under state law he can't. So like Obama, Rahm is just saying what he needs to say to get elected.
I agree because in this political climate the Public hates us, as they don't want to have to pay for our pensions when they get none. The new political groups want to do away with SS that as nothing to do with the budget. So you know they don't give a rats ass about us.
I live in norwood park- All of my neighbors are voting for Rahm it is what it is.
Chico has to go
Little man Chico has a bitter pass with Daley and the Mob deals in real estate- be carful. He carried a lot of Water for Daley.
OT, order came out tonight. Counter terrorism and Intel is now under the Supt.s office. What the fu*& is goin on? Pretty soon the Supt. Office will be one of the largest units on the department. Another Masters power grab? This needs its own thread.
What's in the water is called "Chico ran a multinational law firm into the ground".

this message has been brought to you by the fine folks at Bullshit, Inc.
How many pensions is chico receiving from the city. or will he be receiving.
1/21/2011 09:24:00 PM
about the same as you.
Realistically, the politicians will either change the state constitution or bankrupt our pensions (or possibly both). Our pension cannot be fixed without dr astic measures for all of us and the loss of free health care is inevitable. I just hope you all had the sense to load your deferred comp. We are the victims and now we must deal with the consequences of a corrupt government. The entire country is in economic crisis.
It was supposed to be a 1-2 punch for Chico with FOP and Fire Dept
Looks like Fire Dept is sitting this one out.
When Rahm wins, Tom Dart will be the next Supt. That's why he didn't runnels mayor....it pays way more!
It's all a done deal!

Let's not panic yet. A poll of 780 voters? Where did they take it; at a Jewish old folks home in Rogers Park?

There are no more Jewish old folks homes in Rogers Park. Where have you been?
Instead of complaining about Rahm and Braun.... Lets WORK to get Chico in! What can we do to fix it? Is Everyone here ready to Help to get the Job Done? I am!!
I am willing to go door to door... Are you? OR... Make sure EVERYONE is registered to vote in your camp!!

Your neighbors are too stupid to be allowed to vote. Tell those nit-wits what this malevolent midget is. His qualifications are that he worked at the Obama White House??? That, among other things is exactly why he shouldn't be allowed to be mayor.
How can that idiot Braun possibly be in 2nd place? Idiots support her!
... After all of you stupid bastards vote for Emanuel.
For your peace of mind, I am smart and will never vote for "Mayor" Emanuel. :)
... Hey, dopes of the 5th congressional district, I imagine you're happy with all the work this evil elf did ...
I am not happy with Emanuel's work. Because I'm smart and definitely not a dope, I never voted for a Clinton Groupie as my congressman. :)

I polled 700 officers from three districts and it was 99% Chico and 1% Emmanuel and that officer had an accident and is now on the medical.
Ok Chico was one of many partners in a private law firm that went under.
Well Rahm was part of Freddie Mac which was about to go under then we the taxpayers were forced to bail them out with hundreds of billions of our $$.
Did Chicos firm get a public bailout? No. So which is worse?
You've got a good point. Altheimer got no public bailout. It just went under and a lot of people lost their jobs. No mega billion bailout like Freddie Mac.
Read the fine print; the poll was conducted with 708 registered voters of 1.3 million registered voters.
The poll may be an ok sampling, but it's more of an illusion to make it look like Rahm is out front.
I guess that would be Sam Zell's anonymous contribution to Rahm.

I call bullshit on this one. Norwood Park is pissing distance from Hardwood Hts. We north siders would never allow this to happen that close to Hardwood Hts. Park Ridge, Niles or Skokie. This far north we are not even on city water we drink from artisian springs and eat honey made by dwarfs.

Emanuel Gets a Boost From Financial Sector
By JACOB BUNGE
CHICAGO—Rahm Emanuel is drawing heavy support in his mayoral bid from this city's trading and exchange community, with big donations from the financial sector helping to swell his campaign war chest to $11.8 million.
Exchange operators CME Group Inc. and CBOE Holdings Inc. are major backers of Mr. Emanuel's bid, alongside executives of hedge fund operator Citadel LLC and local trading firms like Getco LLC and DRW Holdings, according to documents filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections.
Ken Griffin, founder of hedge fund giant Citadel, was among the biggest donors to Mr. Emanuel's campaign with $100,000. Electronic market-maker Getco gave $10,000. Also, $50,000 came from Don Wilson, partner at the trading firm DRW Holdings, and another $50,000 from Matthew Hulsizer, chief executive of Peak6 Investments.
Wall Steet Journal
http://online.wsj.com
44% of Those Survey'd.
In other words....they talked to 100 City Hall members...Poll'd them..and printed the results as "Fact"
Horseshit.
You'll be wishing for the old days of Daley after this arrogant prick gets elected.
Braun's brother is ok .
Rahm is a P.O.S. its that simple.
44% + 21% + 16% + 7% + 9% = 97%, or 686.76 of 708 voters total, which leaves 3% of 708 voters, or 21.24 voters, unaccounted.
So how did the 21.24 voters reply?Bite me? Leave me alone? Huh? Whatever? Click? And did the .24 voter say his/her answer in a really tiny voice? WTF!
These polling stoops fabricated the whole thing, but were not bright enough to cipher it out and massage it so it would appear to make sense!
This poll is nothing, but a diversion to give the impression that the Rahm Fuhrer is one sidewalk square away from being unbeatable. It is equal in quantity, quality and usefulness to a big, stinking, rotting pile of used baloney! And the error margin of 3.7 percentage points is total double processed baloney, too.
OT, order came out tonight. Counter terrorism and Intel is now under the Supt.s office. What the fu*& is goin on? Pretty soon the Supt. Office will be one of the largest units on the department. Another Masters power grab? This needs its own thread.
1/21/2011 09:40:00 PM
I dont think it needs its own thread because not many people give a fuck
Does she have an available sister?
1/22/2011 05:46:00 AM
sisters tend to be nothing alike.
These numbers are bullshit , Rahm is truly the spawn of Satan and he will make Shitcago a bigger hell-hole than Shortshanks already did!
The Fix is in.He is the next mayor.
If Rahm wins we are doomed!
He is not a supporter of the City Workers! Expect broken promises from him.
1/21/2011 08:47:00 AM
That's why u don't vote for the guy. Just because he's on their ticket doesn't mean u must vote for him. They also have DS from the academy. This fool comes off as incompetent and lazy. All he liked to talk about are gay war stories. I'm all for Shields team but not DS. BTW, when the citywide team was in my district, all they could do is rip on how young Shields team was. I don't care about age, what's important is what they do for us and shields team sounded a whole lot better.
