Rahm Campaigns

And he doesn't seem to have much:

• Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday laid out a second-term economic plan he said would focus on the city's struggling neighborhoods as he fights critics who say his policies so far have mainly benefited wealthier Chicagoans.
  
  Emanuel went to the Far South Side for a campaign speech light on new proposals and heavy on what he says were his first-term economic successes in which he said areas of the city outside downtown already are seeing a better jobs outlook on his watch.
  
  Six weeks before he stands for re-election, the mayor is working to win back African-American voters who gave him strong support in his first election but who have grown disenchanted with him since, according to Chicago Tribune polling. The Emanuel campaign event at Method, a new manufacturing company in a predominantly black neighborhood, highlighted what he called "a comeback story for Pullman."

Rahm closed fifty schools in predominantly minority communities. Chicago's job picture is a disgrace. Companies and homeowners of all stripes leaving at the highest rate in years. Certain communities look like war zones due to inadequate street repairs and collapsing infrastructure, not to mention the gunfire and stacks of wounded. Plus the daily pocket-picking via red light and speed cameras, the speed cameras that ticket during hours of darkness, weekends and summer in violation of state law. And not a single mention of the required pension balloon payment that is supposed to eat up something like a quarter of the operating budget.

And he's still in the race...in the margin of error for a runoff, winning by other accounts. Wake up Chicago.
