Dead Heat
- A Chicago polling firm is calling the city’s runoff campaign between Mayor Rahm Emanuel and challenger Jesus “Chuy” Garcia a “dead heat.”
New numbers from Ogden and Fry show Garcia, a member of the Cook County board of commissioners, within reach of the one-term Emanuel. And the firm warned that the Hispanic population under-polls, meaning that population is underrepresented in the data.
“They’re likely dead even,” pollster Tom Swiss said Sunday night.
We're just going to come right out and cheer for Chewie. We'd rather see him founder for four years with a hostile City Council than have Rahm surgically destroy what we've paid into without fail for decades. Plus, if Rahm isn't here, Rauner is hamstrung on a lot of his big plans without his buddy. And on a national level, Chicago can make defeating Rahm a small gesture of contrition for helping screw the country with Obama.

Go Chewie!
If there was only some fund which the city owed let's say hundreds of millions of dollars to where say TIF funds could replenish then a regular copper like myself might vote another way hint hint rahm.
Another Bond Rating Downgrade.
Some cities will just have to hit bottom before they are willing to admit they have problem. And some cities like Detroit will never admit they have a problem.
How will Chicago end up?
Go Chuy ! What harm can another socialist cause anyway. Rahm has to go.
Go chewbaka!
Well stated SCC.
Chewie is our man. The lesser evil compared to snaky arrogant rahm.
Don't vote for Rahm-ner in the general election. Let's get rid of this guy NOW.
"Chicago can make defeating Rahm a small gesture of contrition for helping screw the country with Obama."
AMEN!
I will hold my nose and cast my one vote for "Chewie"
Knowing full well that many thousands of votes will be cast by people who do nothing but consume tax dollars for a living will also vote for him because of his name and race.
That many other votes will be cast, bought and stolen for Rahm by the misguided, the dishonest and the greedy.
I only hope that my one votes counts, amen.
Rahm is damaged goods. His spinners won't admit it but he suffered a crushing defeat by not winning with the required 50% plus one.
For once in his life Rahm wasn't handed what he wanted on a silver platter.
Fuck you Rahm. It may have taken some of the Sheeple awhile to see what a carpet bagging asshole you were but lots of them have gotten the message loud and clear now.
Will the election come down to whether more dead vote for Rahm than more illegals voting for Chewie?
don't like like either...but fuck rahm
If Rham loses this election his career is over.
Good luck Chewie!!
Chewie Garcia, vote early & often. Send the 9.5 digit midget ballerina packing .......
Yes, SCC, to all you said here. Get Rahm out, get Chewy out later, and send a message to the rest of America that there is yet hope to put the communists in check in out country.
During one of their scheduled debates, I hope Chuy throws Rahm a shot about the 1,000 "additional" cops he originally promised.
Maybe ask whether Zack's attackers would've been brought to "justice" quicker, not left to roam the streets unabated, had that extra manpower actually become a reality and not just an empty, sleight-of-digitally-challenged hand campaign promise. And from there he could segue nicely into the pension issue.
Go for it, Chewie. Don't pull punches just because the topic involves Satan's spawn. Rahm sure as fuck ain't gonna be hitting you with kid gloves.
Jeez, that's too bad. I wonder how many of the votes for Garcia will come from illegal aliens that RAHM ENCOURAGED TO COME HERE,lol?
Hey Rahm, how's that Santuary City concept working out for you,lol.
Police Officers morale has been horrible under this mayor and Superintendent. I'm Voting them OUT!
" And on a national level, Chicago can make defeating Rahm a small gesture of contrition for helping screw the country with Obama."
Cheers to that! I love it!
The machine got us where we are at, and 9.5 is part of the machine.
I'm Voting for the future of my family and Chicago by casting my vote for Chuy!
Guess you'll have mandatory Spanish classes for the CPD soon. Why Chuy will open up everything for the illegals.
Ive said it all along... By Rahm!!
Through a one time diversion of the billion plus taxpayer dollars already sitting in the TIF slush fund he could shore up the city's credit rating and meet the legally mandated 2015 police and fire pension obligation payments and probably pull off a victory.
That would be the smart move, and he doesn't appear to be a stupid man.
We'll see
The Ill. Democrat Machine tactic of registering at the moment you vote is about to explode in their faces! Remember this last election, Rahm had No Foot Soldiers, so there was nobody to drive voters to the polls at the last minute. Chuy on the other hand had foot soldiers and they can bring aunts, uncles and every other relative to vote without having pre-registered. This Invisible Number cannot be assessed, until they vote. Nobody even knows how many illegals are in this country, with speculation of figures ranging from 11 to 13 Million! Add to that; what City employee wants to destroy his pension by hustling for Rahm or Rauner, because now those two are a team, just like when they hang out at the $150,000 a year Wine Club!. I knew Rahm was in trouble when he had to pay people to circulate his petition to get on the ballot. In the past, City employees and their kids circulated those positions proudly proclaiming they were supporters of whomever. NOT WITH RAHM, they had to hire people. Rahm is in Real Trouble, Real Trouble, and he deserves it."G"
its interesting to see the open borders party being destroyed by their own devices. do they honestly think that illegals when they become amnesty citizens will vote for the political elite? I predict that the old guard will be washed out within 5-10 years.
This is good and bad news. For Sam Martinez, LAPA's old leader, Sup Matt Rodreguez go to press guy, and forced to resign from the CPD; he finally gets another change to be a suck-hole. Chuy's people know all about this turd. Hey Sam don't waste time, they know why you resigned from Chicago. The upcoming mayoral race is beginning to be very interesting. Jagoffs of the past are coming out of the wood work.
Rahm has his people working in the river wards as we speak.
Now, Kees me you fool!!!!
You don't think Garcia and Obama agree on most things?
Can they both lose?
Thanks for clarifying your position, SCC.
I followed your advice last time around and voted against Rahm in order to force him into a run off, and give that arrogant little prick the bitch slapping he so much deserves.
I will follow your advice this time too. Not a fan of Chuy or his political positions at all, but I think having Chuy as mayor will result in a weak-mayor-strong-city-council situation, the opposite of what we have now. I think that if we can muddle thru 8 years with the Muslim-In-Chief in the White House, we can deal with Chuy for 4 years. And if Chuy is such a problem, then throw his ass out after the first term as well.
As an aside, I was amazed to see Rahm requesting and accepting an Obama endorsement. In the November 2014 elections, dozens of Democrats went to great lengths to distance themselves from Obama, and for good reason. I wonder if Rahm would change his opinion, now that Obama has been accused of giving orders to shoot down Israeli fighter jets; see http://therightscoop.com/obama-threatened-to-shoot-down-israeli-jets/
Yet Rahm actively embraces Obama. Just shows how very desperate Rahm is for the black vote.
The black community knows what going on. Rahm promised them a bill of goods. And Rahm did not deliver.
Call the next case. Not a cop.
And why didn't Rahm bother to participate in this year's Polar Plunge? Didn't care because Jimmy Fallon wasn't there? I thought he vowed to bring 'The Tonight Show' to Chicago becuase 'our children' read some many books over the summer? Maybe the show is scheduled for election day eve. It'll be a star-studded tribute with a lot of 'vote for Rahm tomorrow' cheerleading and celebrity endorsements.
Totally agree with you. Enough is enough and we will fight the next one even stronger when he strays from our goals.
If Rahm funded our pension tomorrow a full 100%, my wife and I will vote for Rahm.
Minnie Minosa, rest in peace. your now in a better place relieved of any pain and suffering....
CHUY not Chewie.
Hostile city council means the alderman will start snitching on each other!
Burke will have to wheel and deal.
Republicans may even be able to gain some steam.
Unions will become slightly relevant because now they just can't be bought by the mayor.
And may be the city can start selling weed already to all the rejects to make some tax money!
Rahm is probably wishing there was some sort of voter ID law and a crackdown on illegal immigration. Expect "high turnout" in hispanic areas.
No matter who wins I am afraid for the long term financial health of the city and our pension. I don't think Garcia has the chops to do what is necessary. For those people who do not like Rauner, what is the alternative? I did not trust Quinn to tell the truth when he said " we have cut to the bone". Everyone is going to get gored by the coming financial meltdown. Everybody has a special interest that they want to protect and it is impossible to protect them all and bring this state and city to the level of financial health it was before the rein of daley.
if the fop endorses rahm I'm going to vote for garcia
If Rahm funded our pension tomorrow a full 100%, my wife and I will vote for Rahm.
3/02/2015 09:04:00 AM
You've got a much better chance of Hell freezing over.
Rahm despises us and our pension pisses him off. He's repeatedly refused to make the city's required pension obligations and is working tirelessly to "reform", aka cut and gut, our pensions.
Go Chuy, go!
Oy Vey! What would my Polish grandparents and in-laws say if they knew all four votes from my far northwest side home are going to a Spanish guy? I think they'd be pleased. Bye. Bye Rahm. It's back to your motor maintenance job with the IDF.
if Chuy wins, will he send Rahm a dead fish wrapped in newspaper?
Why do you think Chewie would face an uncooperative City Council? I disagree - look at who won and the run-offs. I think that it would be a sympathetic Council.

Tomatoe, Tomaatoe!!! He is still an idiot but he can be our idiot. Get rid of Rahm
Chewie....ha ha ha....keep calling him that...
I LOVE JESUS (Garcia)
.
Are you registered to vote?
.
We have to get our extended family members on board with voting Rahm out of office. They are afraid to vote for Chuy. Convince your relatives why it is so important to vote for him. It will be uncomfortable, but the conversation has to be had!
from the Board of Election Commissioners, this is certain to be asked about a thousand times:
Q: Will there be Early and Absentee Voting for the April 7 runoff?
A: Yes. There will be Early Voting from March 23 through April 4. Any voters may use absentee voting (vote by mail) without any reason or excuse. The deadline to have an absentee application at the Chicago Election Board is April 2, but the Board strongly recommends voters apply for absentee ballots earlier to make sure that the voters have time to receive and return their ballots.
I hope Rahm loses but after four years of Garcia will the city vote for someone with Daley in their name, either the daughter or the nephew?
Chuy thinks we are in the 1%. He has not said what his plan to save the city. He will give this city away and we will be bankrupt in two years. Just the fact.
The White Democrats are kissing the Ass of the Illegals for their Vote,But the Latino Vote will go to the Latino running not the White guy.

Need a Salvage Mayor not a Give-A-Way Mayor.
03:34am, You ARE an idiot. You have to be a citizen to vote. Dumbass.
Who cares if its Chuy, Chewie or Chewy as long as you don't vote for Rahm!!!!!
If a ham sandwich was running against Rahm, I'd vote for the ham sandwich.
Rahm you lied to us with false promises of hiring a thousand new police officers. Instead you allowed the CPD to fall below the budgeted amount for front line police and detectives. Then you eliminated them from the budget to cover the shortage.
You hired an arrogant prick like your self to run the CPD. He is a liar like you are. His Comstat system is just a smoke and mirrors system of crime under reporting.
You came after our pensions by spending wildly on pet projects and allowing our bond rating to drop while the Tiff money goes unreported. Billions of tax dollars not counted. This is criminal.
Burge went to jail for lying to the feds. You do not deserve to be mayor of Chicago. You sir are a liar. You deserve to go.
You closed CPS schools and sent thousands of poor, under served students to find another place to go. You opened more Charter schools. Students do not do any better there then CPS schools. But someone, like Rauner is making money off these now displaced students. You deserve to go.
What I want to know is, what does newly promoted Det. Ware think? Oh that's right he's running for Mayor also. His YouTube campaign is something else.
I agree if Rahm wins his career is over. Bad move not giving us our overtime retro for that first year Rahm. That's reason enough for me to vote chuy. Lets all vote chuy and ruin this guys political career. No presidential run for you buddy!!
Chewie!
Rahm didn't need to pick fights with us.
Fuck him.
Chuy hasn't expressed a desire to "stick it in my ear".
This cocksucker Emanuel has made this very personal. He wants to hurt your families.
Fuck him. Hurt him and his asshole family instead.
Get rid of merit : how bout the police reinstated at the police board and o'neill McCarthy won't put them back funny majority are Hispanic . I think oneill has problems coming his way: hey chuy look into this you will bring Rahm to his knees: police power wasted answering phones .
well written SCC very well written
GO CHEWY, or CHUY......
Sorry all but I'd stick with Rahm. At least you know what you got.
Hispanics have way more than they should and Chuy will just open the flood gates more.
AND....are these two really the best the City has to offer for Mayoral candidates?

He didn't deliver to the black community? What more do they want? They control the county and most of the elected city positions.
Embraces Obama,why not the black vote and he was his chief of staff.
Do we really want a weak mayor,strong city council. Have you really looked at the make up of the city council?
Promise to take down those cameras Chuy and you have 5 votes in my home.
Why did Fran Spielman Chicago Suntimes run a "positive story" under Amer Ahmad and mayor Emmanuel pictured together in Thursday's Newspaper edition regarding Amer Ahmad's indictment- is it called "DAMAGE CONTROL"
..initially we white cop voters thought, why bother, but myself and wife voted early as we always do anyway. Never expected a runoff, neither did Chicago. If the hispanic vote now comes out with a vengeance,Rahmfather is toast. All the thousands that thought there could be no change now realize change is possible.
Cant we respectfully disagree with a person without all the personal attacks. Lets act like adults. "Fuck this guy" He's a piece of shit". Guy/gals on here really make us as a department sound ignorant.
Let The Wookiee Win
Rahm will slow/stop the decline of this city. Chuy will bury this city.
Give us everything we are entitled! Who cares if it cant be paid for. I will give nothing back. The taxpayer will pay for it. hmm what does that sound like. Sorry
You people are nucking futs. Chuy would be another Dennis Kucinich. He is the farthest left from many of the politicians. Rahm may be no Mr. Innocent. But if YOU THINK Chuy is the answer?????........THINK AGAIN!!!!...........
61 yr old
white cop voter voting for Garcia. Change is always good for politics.Secondary reason. Obama has been the worst president in my lifetime.
Hispanic people on every block in Chicago . Encourage your neighbors to vote this time. Rahm will be out.
It' simple. The winner of the election will depend on who Valarie Jarret wants to win.
Past mayoral elections last 50 yrs . What will the black vote do ,black vote , black vote...Get your Hispanic neighbors out, that's what matters now and what is real,Garcia will win.
(OT) we need to get a real president in office and get with Israel and kill these scumbags!

Rahm is done. There is no way he will beat Chuy. Like a chess match, Chuy has Emanuel cornered.
Vote Chuy, go back to D.C Rhambelina and take your wedding dress with you sweetie!
The 1% keep trying ...
On Friday, only three days after Tuesday’s election, Becky Carroll, CEO of Chicago Forward, the pro-Emanuel independent expenditure committee, took a step that would bust the contribution caps for the Chicago mayor race.
That afternoon she notified the Illinois Board of Elections that her group would put $110,000 towards pro-Rahm Emanuel political communications, forcing the Board of Elections to lift contribution limits for the mayoral runoff. That same day, Chicago Forward reported two separate $100,000 contributions from husband and wife Michael J. and Cari Sacks.
I left Chicongo 12 years ago, however I left a suitcase in my mother's basement with clothes in it.
Can I come back and vote against Thumbelina.
Go Chuy.......

MF
P.S.--Some rag recently referred to Rahm as "tough." Yeah--Rahm's tough the same way Kathy Bates is a bona fide bombshell. ;)
Here's my problem...BUT; I was in the 10th District in the early 80's. Garcia had a large contingent of gang bangers working for him for alderman. When Lozano was killed in his kitchen, we had to watch that gang bangers house!!! Why????, it was just another gang thang in 010. The young guys here won't remember, but if Garcia wins, Slim Coleman, Jackie Grimshaw, Leon Finney, all the old Washington group will be back. WE can only hope that if Garcia wins the City Council will fight with him for the four years, and maybe then somebody like Chico will run again. BUT...with all this said, I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Garcia....Rahm is an ignorant asshole and hates the Police!!!
Old 10th District Ranger
As hard as it may be we all have to vote for Garcia. The fact is we will never have a good mayor. NEVER! But Rahm is scary and will not do what is right with the pension. The pension is the ONLY issue we should care about. It was an agreement written in stone and we have paid into it every two weeks just like we agreed to when we signed the papers on our first day of employment in the Police academy. The city has spent BIG BIG money on everything else, but the pension. The city has the money. The bill is due NOW! I do not trust Rahm.
What if his intention is to only stay one more term and then do something else? So if he wins could he screw us big time on the way out? Don't doubt that he wouldn't. That's a very scary thought. Rahm will always be rich and so will his friends. Garcia isn't even close to Rahm in wealth. Garcia has the city council to deal with and he has spoken often about hiring. I also doubt he will have a cozy relationship with the Gov. VOTE GARCIA because it's about the pension.
Fuck it, how much worse can it get?
Let chaos reign!
Rahm and his spinners will never admit it but they're very concerned.
Couldn't successfully operate the meat slicer at Arby's. . . . .
God, I love repeating that line.
SCC, you're 2/3's right. We need less Rahm, less Obama, but more Rauner. Like the guy or not, right now he represents the only hope of lifting Illinois out of the mess it's in. And like the situation or not, a guy like him represents the only hope of fixing Chicago's economic time bomb.
Everybody wants a cure that's not going to hurt, and that isn't going to happen. Rahm is a shithead, and Chuy is in over his head. The best Chicago can hope for in this election is to get rid of the shithead and let Chuy flounder for 4 years. Maybe by then a real candidate will emerge who'll hopefully will be able to begin following Rauner's example.
People VOTE for Chuy don't look back. Rahm had his chance. Chuy will have his. Just think of your pension and the TIF money RAHM gives away. CPD lost in their contract don't be a loser again. Send Dean a message also message when he comes up. How much can CPD take ? All those promotions not needed trying to buy the African American vote.
Haven't heard what chewy will do with tifs yet.
I sympathize with you coppers on a lot of issues, but you are wrong here.
It seems that you are concerned with only one thing - your pensions.
Newsflash: we non-coppers are concerned about many other things. Your pensions are just one problem out of many.
I'm glad that Rahm will have to work for his reelection. But your inability to comprehend that Rahm, as disgusting as he is, is the only one in the game who will slow down a notch our descent into Detroit - that is my problem with your position.
Chuy? Might as well get DeBlasio.
To all you idiots trying to justify voting for Chuy by saying what can he mess up in four years stop. That's the same philosophy that elected Shields to fop.
Chewy's son has a long history of assaulting police officers and having his Daddy's politically connected lawyers get him off with a slap on the wrist.
I mean I know everyone hates Rahm but no chance I can vote for Chuy. Basically have the same crap NYC has with De Blasio.
Look at NYC and DeBlasio. One might think cooler heads would prevail, but both appear bad.
You coppers angry with Rahm who want to vote for Chuy: you realize he's another DeBlasio right? Have any of you actually looked at his website? Please get a load of his "safe neighborhoods" section. Please!
He is not going to hire extra cops like he says he will.
He is going to drive this city to the ground on an express train. Is that what you want? Great then, go ahead and give Chicago the mercy shot.

Just asking.
Kinda a big assumption that Chuy would have a "hostile council."
I think there are many on that council that would love to get out from under the Rhamulous thumb.
The foundation of CPD is the retirees and the Patrol Division. Vote for Jesus CHUY Garcia. Remember who refused you a day off. Because there's no man power. You could now send the white shirts a message. Vote for CHUY !!!

Fuck you too. rahm deserves to be vilified however one cares to express themselves.
How much can CPD take from RAHM and McBull ?
Water Bills
TIF for the rich
Pension
Look at all the good bosses that left under Sup. They saw it coming. Guys under 50 and not even max out.
Send RAHM a message Vote for "CHUY"
The Chicago Mayoral contest is a tragic emblem of our civic failure. Rahm inherited a disaster. The Daley Machine stole everything that was not nailed down, promised rich pensions without raising taxes, borrowed as much as could be borrowed in the taxpayers name and sold as many city assets as could be sold.
A true Mayoral leader might have been able to call for shared sacrifice; cut pensions, raise taxes, lower civil servants pay and cut entitlements and other spending.
The problem is, nobody wanted to hear the truth and make shared sacrifices, AND Rahm was a conniving abrasive asshole.
He should not have tried to lengthen the school day, while undermining CPS finances by pushing Charter Schools like UNO and Noble Street to provide graft for the likes of Juan Rangel and Rauner's buddies. It was this drain from CPS of students to Charters that made it imperative to close schools. All these things pissed off the teachers and south side blacks. He needed to propose a deal that included no pay increases in exchange for additional payments to the CTU pension plan. Instead CTU got a pay raise that CPS could not afford.
At the same time, CPD and CFD negotiated to impasse, and arbitrators awarded contracts that the city cannot afford given underfunded pensions.
Meanwhile Chicagoans want plenty of city services and free social services and entitlements, and they dont want to pay taxes for everything.
So Chicago will get bankruptcy. It does not really matter if Chuy or Rham gets in: an emergency manager will be making all the decisions in Chicago within three years. That is the tragedy.
A chance to be heard vote for CHUY!!!
As a black man , I remember that he disrespected Karen Lewis with f bombs . No men's should talk like that to any females , no matter what race . Bobby Rush wants to retain power , not many black folk like him either .
Mexicans will vote 90% for chugy Garcia , whitey the working stiff will vote chuy .
Rich whites will vote rahm. How he raise all that millions ,not by helpings average man .
What is funny reading the comments of people saying if RAHM does this or does that he got my vote. Guess what? He isn't so stop dreaming. Vote for CHUY and believe.
I like the IF comments too bad it's CHUY time... Follow the stash....
Make sure your friends and family get out and Vote. Turn out is horrible and our Pensions are doomed if Rahm is voted back in..
*Vote Chuy/Chewie*
It don't matter how you spell it, just go vote this man in, otherwise don't complain about what damage Rahm will do to this City!
Any current or retired City of Chicago employees (family members too) need to vote against Mayor 1%. Rahm and his slick lawyers are making legal arguments that smacks of larceny in a full court press effort to steal and diminish pension money promised to retired senior citizen civilian employees. The lawsuit is pending in state court but has been stayed pending the state pension case before the Supreme Court. If they are successful, you know CPD members are next in line for a haircut.
All Chuy needs To do is talk about pension obligations and doing what is right and he's on his way!
We were not aware how many Rahm supporters were all over the Midway airport area On. Sunday morning there was an invasion of blue signs supporting Rahm for blocks and blocks long. If you want change get out and tell everyone the nonsense going on currently, change is always good stop drinking the koolaide.....and take those stupid signs down if you did not approve anyone to put them there!!!
Chuy gggggrrrrrrrr!!! go Chuy, Honsolo says!!!
Just like all the comments against our contract here. I'm starting to get leery of all the pro Chuy comments. Prove me wrong April 7.
I live in the 23rd Ward and happened to see several of Zalewski's precent workers reporting at his Archer Ave office this morning. Nine and 1/2 must be getting nervous and is calling his loyal crew to work the Ward for him
Jesus Garcia will represent all the workin class , poor and wealthy people in chicago ,not just he 1% that can donate millions to a campaign war chest .
What happened to those anti establishment congressmen that now back rahmmie to keep their power .
All are now part of the upper class , using the poor to line their own pockets .
Over 1,000 police jobs were eliminated since rahmmie took over , yeah it's for the children .
Chuy will fight for and fund city employee pensions . A good start would be , collect the millions owed in water bills from south suburbs , deduct breakfast and lunch from link cards , reduce number of police officers on politicians bodyguard details .
Didn't vote for Chuy in the primary becuase of his gangbanging POS son. Hopefully, he's put the kid, excuse me, grown-ass man, in check! But now, he's the lesser of 2 evils.
I can see it now, "You can't arrest me! My dad's the mayor!" Oh wait, that's been done already. LOL
Rousting out Rahm Emmanuel would give confidence back to the voter, and put the power back in the peoples hands. Can U dig it...?
Chicago
Do not cry for whom the Bell tolls...it tolls for thee...
Chewy today announced he will consult with financial and pension experts to come up with a comprehensive plan. I think he should have had a plan months ago. The devil you know is better than the one you don't.

I'm worried about next month, not your drama and propagandizing about four years from now.
You never know. We might all be happy and we might all choose to vote for Garcia again in four years.
Worry about now NOW.
We already had a female mayor. Her name was Jane Byrne(RIP) and she loved the police. We had an African American Harold Washington(RIP). And we currently have this guy Rahm. And he hates us. Wants to get of the unions. Taking a lot of things that OUR former brothers and sisters in blue gained for us. He wants us to get down on our knees and crawl to him. I will not crawl or beg.
" on a national level, Chicago can make defeating Rahm a small gesture of contrition for helping screw the country with Obama."

Rahm is a jerkoff. Chuy. Well by the timee he's done upending every City dept. and finishes his sensitivity initiative and his give away social programs.... there will be two Detroits on the Great Lakes.
How is the country screwed with Obama? Gas prices were down, jobs up, Bin Laden dead, AlQuaeda destroyed and this blog named Chuy a former gangbanger which means still a gangbanger with a job and will help gangbangers orb, steal and kill. Chicago got screwed when they elected Rahm, and that is all.
If Garcia raises $30,000,000 million and forgets about the working poor , he will be a one term mayor .
Look at the Hispanics and black politicians in Rams pocket , they forgot where they came from ,who elected them . They will be gone next election . The gov wants rahm , Quinn said Rainer represents the rich people
Garcia the mayor for the little guys.
Our sanctuary city now known as our welcome city will elect chew chew.

As hard as it may be we all have to vote for Garcia. The fact is we will never have a good mayor. NEVER! But Rahm is scary and will not do what is right with the pension. The pension is the ONLY issue we should care about. It was an agreement written in stone and we have paid into it every two weeks just like we agreed to when we signed the papers on our first day of employment in the Police academy. The city has spent BIG BIG money on everything else, but the pension. The city has the money. The bill is due NOW! I do not trust Rahm.
What if his intention is to only stay one more term and then do something else? So if he wins could he screw us big time on the way out? Don't doubt that he wouldn't. That's a very scary thought. Rahm will always be rich and so will his friends. Garcia isn't even close to Rahm in wealth. Garcia has the city council to deal with and he has spoken often about hiring. I also doubt he will have a cozy relationship with the Gov. VOTE GARCIA because it's about the pension.
YOU ARE 100% RIGHT!
Too late for a Hillary/Emanuel 2016... but a Emanuel-DeBlasio 2020 is possible.
Stomp the cockroach on April 7th.
Vote Chuy.
We can't let rahman get entrenched.chuy will be easier to beat in 4 years...go waguespack, is that the right spelling?
The USA is an Empire in decline. Just the way it is. Debasement of the currency, unbelievable debt, military adventurism ( 100 countries have us troops) and arrogance. All empires die this way. Chicago is bearing this economic disaster. If we get what Detroit got after bankruptcy, it will not be too bad. Illinois and MIchigan are states that are on a steep decline and those in power do not care, they want to hold on to the power.
Will the election come down to whether more dead vote for Rahm than more illegals voting for Chewie?

Yea for bubblegum Vote for Chewey!
I wanna see the Tutu go up in flames. Sizzle!
If a tough steak ran against Rham and the name of that tough steak was Chuy....I'd vote for that Chuy tough steak!
That rahm is taken to a dead heat by the equivalent of Mickey the Mope counts as a major loss for rahm. Chewey might even win! Rahm should quit now and go to Israel and fix trucks. Lord knows he isn't fit to do what the average Israeli soldier does daily.
Shalom
Chewey is tied to pretwinkle she has raised taxes on everything Garcia will do the same he won't touch the TIF funds
Do we really want a weak mayor,strong city council. Have you really looked at the make up of the city council?
3/02/2015 12:26:00 PM
Yes I have, and on balance, I do feel a weak mayor, strong city council would be better and here's why.
Under Rahm, we had the opposite. What ever Rahm wanted, he yes-men approved.
Case in point: the $100MIL DePaul stadium. Now, DePaul is a fine school. If they want a stadium, no problem. Just let THEM come up with the $100MIL. To use taxpayer money for this is frivolity. But to do so at at time when the City is on the edge of insolvency is sheer lunacy.
Case in point: Rahm cries that the City is broke and has no money to make the upcoming pension payment. Yet billions are sloshing around in the TIF funds. And the City Council just goes along and thinks this is all OK.
Yes, the City Council is like a box of mixed nuts - and that's a good thing because it would make it that much harder to reach a broad consensus on ANYTHING. Result: a lot fewer bad ideas will get implemented.
And kudos to the prior poster who pointed out that Rahm, if re-elected, may very well screw everyone on their pensions and not care what it would do to his chances for re-election, because Rahm would not be seeking re-election, at least not as mayor of Chicago. An excellent point.
Chuy's political views make me puke, but I am going to hold my nose and vote for him anyway. Like I said, if 4 years from now we look back and don't like what Chuy did, then we can throw his ass out as well.
Call the next case. Not a cop.

I don't want to see campaign talking points in the upcoming debates....I want specifics on what each is going to do with the pension. Waiting for the IL Supreme Court to rule is not an answer!!!!
How much pension will Rahm get with ONE TERM AS MAYOR?

Are bond rating went down three times under Emanuel. I know anyone can do better than that, especially Chuy!!
Rahm isn't a George Carlin type of asshole (a well meaning asshole). He is more a send dead fish, double team your dad's patient and beat him up kind of asshole.
And yet Barry tried to sell Rahm as tough or some other bullshit euphemism.
An asshole by any other name would still smell like Rahm.

I love chicago politics! Two republicans endorsing Rahm:rauner and kirk(white city republicans you need to vote).
Rahm win means more privatizing, corporate tax breaks, and pension cuts because Union retirees make too much!
I love chicago politics!
At least Rahm didnt march with demonstrators. No fop endorsement was an endorsement for Rahm. I'm writing in "dean annjello".
Being a catholic. I have to vote for Jesus
Chuy needs to seal the deal by coming to meetings of FOP, PB&PA, IAFF and CTU and stating loud and clear that your pensions will be secure and fully funded.
He can then openly ask for our help and he will get it.
But of course, Deano will not invite Chuy as Rahm would be very cross with him. But if Chuy wins Deano will say I was pushing for you all along.
You people are nucking futs. Chuy would be another Dennis Kucinich. He is the farthest left from many of the politicians. Rahm may be no Mr. Innocent. But if YOU THINK Chuy is the answer?????........THINK AGAIN!!!!...........

He is going to drive this city to the ground on an express train. Is that what you want? Great then, go ahead and give Chicago the mercy shot.

I sympathize with you coppers on a lot of issues, but you are wrong here.
It seems that you are concerned with only one thing - your pensions.
Newsflash: we non-coppers are concerned about many other things. Your pensions are just one problem out of many.
I'm glad that Rahm will have to work for his reelection. But your inability to comprehend that Rahm, as disgusting as he is, is the only one in the game who will slow down a notch our descent into Detroit - that is my problem with your position.
Chuy? Might as well get DeBlasio.
3/02/2015 02:41:00 PM
I'm concerned with more than my pension. I have investment property in the city and I need to stay here for family reasons.
As for Rahm being the only one who can save us, though, c'mon. First, he hasn't done anything to stop the downward slide in the four years he's had the job. Second, he spends money like it's water, and not his water, at that.
Chicago's mayor, whoever it is, needs to STOP SPENDING MONEY THAT CHICAGO DOESN'T HAVE. That is the thing that will keep us from becoming Detroit.
Somehow, I think Chuy Garcia can manage to grasp that simple idea and run with it. Rahm Emanuel sure as hell can't.

Because Emanuel, with no financial training or education, earning sixteen million in two years in a job handed to him by Bill Clinton's cronies, was all LEGIT, right? First inkling of a family problem, he has his superintendent of police cover his son's case up. Declares crime numbers down when we all know they're rocketing. Diverts TIF money to projects prohibited by law. Yes, he's a boy scout.
You really want us to believe he's a straight-up, honorable, guy? Welcome to the Emerald City and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Why do you think Chewie would face an uncooperative City Council? I disagree - look at who won and the run-offs. I think that it would be a sympathetic Council.

Helping those candidates was a quid pro quo move. Tiny Dancer has fucked over almost every alderman beginning with threatening a few who considering running against him. I won't get into details, but trust me he is a vile despicable excuse for a human being.
Ongoing threats to get majority votes may not be so it's obvious to us, but he threatens them in ways only seen in the glory days of the Mob. You think Waguespak's ward is the first shoveled or the last? But, hey, it's the grid system. Why is the 2nd ward such a fucked up mess far from where the incumbent lived? Bye, bye Bob.
The city council is chomping at the bit to actually be independent from the mayor I have no doubt we'll see a winning vote on a city-run casino with all proceeds going to pension plans until they are funded to the requirements. We may even see Geo Lucas and his Star Wars Museum get launched to a galaxy far far away.
I don't care if Rahm funds the pension this minute. He does not get my vote!

Can one of you anti Rahm people please tell me what Chuy's plan is regarding our pensions, something factual please. I just don't see it, and until then Rahm has my vote.
Obama and Gutierrez back Rahm! That's enough for me "Go Chewie"
If Chewy wins, bankruptcy will follow. At least the pensions will be "fixed" in Federal Bankruptcy court where the state constitution is meaningless. It worked for Detroit.
So this poll shows Rahm with a lower percent of the vote than he received on election day? Flawed. Adjusting for demographics and undecideds, Rahm is at about 58% and Chewy at 42%

Dumb comment.
Many people are voting out of hate which is crazy.I suggest listening to the debates and see who has the answers.Mr Garcia was asked how he would pay for a 1000 more police.His answer was "oh we'll find the money".If you take down all the red light cameras how do you replace that revenue?We shouldn't vote out of hate or race.Granted not everything is perfect,but do we really know everything about Garcia and his policies.I'll listen to the debates and then make my decision.We are all 21 plus vote smart !

Chuy will fight for and fund city employee pensions . A good start would be , collect the millions owed in water bills from south suburbs , deduct breakfast and lunch from link cards , reduce number of police officers on politicians bodyguard details .
3/02/2015 04:51:00 PM
As much as we talk about everybody else, cops sure talk about stuff they have no idea of. Link card dollars are fed money, not even state money. The state pays for the administration of the program. The actual money on the card for food is 100% fed dollars. Good luck getting a city mayor to manage a fed program.
The city council is chomping at the bit to actually be independent from the mayor I have no doubt we'll see a winning vote on a city-run casino with all proceeds going to pension plans until they are funded to the requirements. We may even see Geo Lucas and his Star Wars Museum get launched to a galaxy far far away.
You are dreaming. Have you seen the make up of the city council. Do you really want them making the decisions. Be careful what you ask for. What makes you think an independent city council would vote for our pensions being funded by a casino? Also any casino in Chicago has to be approved by the state,not the city council. Rahm put in legislation before and Quinn didnt sign it.

Right. Because YOU say so.
It is amazing how some of the Pro-Rahm people are attempting to stick up and make excuses for him. Under his GREAT leadership the shootings and homicides have skyrocketed, the city's bond rating is plummeting and the TIF program money is hidden from us.
Under his leadership, Chicago public schools are closed with him out of the country, while his crony friends are allowed to open Charter schools that siphon millions to under performing schools. Under his leadership the red-light camera program has expanded and he placed the majority of them in our neighborhoods to pay for the tax breaks he gives his millionaire friends.
He's failed to live up to his promise on fixing the pensions, hiring police, fixing the infrastructure and making the city a safer and better place. He has done on thing correct, and that's giving himself and 1% more money and kickbacks.
All Rahm has done during his tenure is hurt the working people of this great city, ignore the lies that scumbags like Luis Gutierrez and the rest of these professional politicians have spewed!
If you really can read the tea leaves, see the lies and want change, vote Rahm Emmanuel out on April 7, 2015. Go Jesus "Chuy" Garcia.

Well, Rahm's already gone on the record saying he won't fund our pension until there is pension 'reform'. He is also maneuvering to put off making the lump sum payment in nine months, which cripples our fund and doesn't let it make enough interest income to sustain itself.
But, you go ahead and vote for him.

Well guess what, the Demo-Communists do not want anyone checked for citizenship when applying for a lot of things like a D/L. If you can come up with a few documents, paystubs, utility bills a wink and a nod and off you go voter registration included.
The same with the dead. If Aunt Minnie died out of state or just not reported officially the prescient captain might keep her "alive" for years.
Being a live U.S. citizen may be the law but in reality...
So who's the "dumbass".
The very fact that Mr Obama backs Rham is telling, Obama has destroyed this country and he is giving the "LITTLE LIAR" a thumbs up. Let us not forget Rhams comment about "sticking it in our ear". Birds of a feather flock together…my vote is for CHUY!
If Rahm loses, what are the odds that Chicago will follow Detroit into bankruptcy and there goes all of those pensions down the tubes. The only alternative if the attempt to amend the pensions plans fails in the courts is to up property taxes to the point that people start leaving or vote out everyone and then the next administration can easily file for bankruptcy. I don't like Rahm much but be careful what you wish for unless you see a real alternative to dealing with the fiscal mess that the city is in.
