Rahm by 16%?
- A new weekly mayoral poll ahead of the April 7 runoff election shows Mayor Rahm Emanuel is continuing to gain further separation from his challenger, Jesus “Chuy” Garcia.
The Ogden and Fry poll conducted Saturday among 951 likely voters shows Emanuel getting support from 48.5 percent of those polled, while Garcia comes in at 32.1 percent. A large number of those polled — 18.4 percent — say they’re still undecided. The poll has a margin of error of 3.24 percentage points.
This is the fourth poll since Rahm's embarrassment and he still can't crack the 50% barrier? Ogden and Fry are hedging their bets (and potentially, their reputation as a polling entity) by noting that “turnout and the under-polling Hispanic vote are two factors to still consider." No shit.
We know we've been doing our part, lying to two different pollsters who managed to call. But everyone is going to have to vote, and polls open for early balloting tomorrow. Time to make Rahm sweat.

They called me Saturday . . .
I did not pick up the phone... I am voting for Garcia even though he is a piece of shit . .
"Change the diaper"
This is what we HAVE to do with Politians.
If Garcia can't pull this out with all of the Latino population in Chicago then the progressives are not trying hard enough at vote fraud.
Makes sense to me, I mean I was a chuy supporter until I realized that he has absolutely no ability to run this city. Sure Rahm is a jerk, but at least we know what we get with him . Chuy will bury this city even deeper in shit. And for those of you that say Rahm wants our pensions, Chuy doesn't give a shit about our pensions either and he's a bleeding liberal that hates the police.
Seiser for Mayor,The only choice thats for you And your family,WRITE in Canidate.
Before u question why Rahm has not broken 50 percent let's question why Garcia can't even break 40 in 5 consecutive polls let's face it he finished he has run the most inept campaign in recent history
If a man with a plan has fixed some parts but still is having a time of cleaning up Daley's Huge Financial Mess...how does one expect a man without a plan to do any better. Remember, Richie took 20 plus years to do his dirty deeds. That's a lotta cash spent. Hard to clean it up in 4. Vote for Rahm.
So former NYC mayor Bloomberg has been sued for putting in bike lanes and bike rental stations without doing a required environmental impact study. Seems the reduced flow of traffic means vehicles take longer to get to their destinations which in turn dumps mega volumes of additional noxious gases into our air. Ohhhh Raaaaahm, did you do the required environmental impact study before you fucked up our streets. Hmmmmm!?
Rahm and his friends support of the illegal Mexican immigrants and allowing them to become voters even without being citizens is going to be his political demise. Kind of funny.
The roosters are coming home!
Can you smell the desperation?
These dirty fucks are trying to spin a narrative
That Rahm has an insurmountable lead and that
everybody should just quit and stop agitating
against Rahm because he's so smart and is such
a financial whiz and has so many outsider millionaires and
billionaires trying to make sure the Chicago churls don't
do something unseemly like showing Rahm Von Weasel's narrow ass the door...
Especially before the pesky federal statute of limitations runs out.
They fear a mayor that isn't Rahm.
They fear a mayor who might put the neighborhoods and working people first over corporate give-aways.
May their fears be realized.
These poll numbers are bullshit...
We're on these streets and the word and mood on the streets say Rahm is in big fucking trouble no matter how much money he spends, what kind of lies he tell
to get re-elected...
I'll be early voting for rahm tomorrow. Yeah, I'm banking on his casino for pension plan. The more I hear chuy talk the more I see toddler Stroger and Luis Gutierrez... No thanks.
look up who they are former republican pollster who joins forces with another displaced rahmster
I don't know how anybody who watched that debate can even consider voting for Garcia.
Time to make Rahm leave. It's now or never.
Yea OK. Nice try Rahm. They did the same this to Harold Washington and look at the landslide he won at!
Typical lying democratic BS!
Vote him out of office !
The Dictatorship will continue and youll be singled out for your no vote Good Luck CPD

Does this mean that Rham will pay attention to the South Side

Thanks Rham
They called me Saturday, it was a automated call. Press #1 for rahm #2 for chuy #3 for undecided. I pressed #1 for rahm no way I'll vote for this prick. I'll cast my vote today for chuy
We recommend that whoever calls make them feel good.
Tell them what they want to hear.
You should cut the cord to landlines!
Rahm has plenty of taxes on phones in the lovely City of Chi-Raq
And Everything will be OK
when Rham gives me my TAX BILL
Red Light Cameras will be BACK
The beatings will continue
Chuy bumbles too much when he talks.
I don't believe it for one minute. Sounds like some serious bullshit. They are shamelessly trying to suppress the vote. By telling everyone that "Rham is so far ahead and he will win and so your vote won't make a difference". Makes you want to ask what kind of a country we are living in. We already know that the media is a mouth piece for the very rich and the corporations. Here is another example. In the popular media they keep saying that we have a lack of people in science and engineering and that is why we need to either outsource those jobs or bring in highly skilled foreign workers. It is a snow job. We do have qualified technical people. Big business would rather suppress the wages instead.
16%?Bullshit,900 voters?come on,these polls always ask a1000 people or less and media is all over it,200,000 or more will vote,fuck the polls,just vote!
Today is the first day of EARLY voting. Go to your neighborhood or district/area library.
Chuy is the Hugo Chavez of Cook Co. He needs to amp up his commie bluster and get his photo taken with Fidel. This will bolster his standing among the future ruling rabble of Chicago, who will then come out in force for him on voting day.
I keep getting calls from the Garcia campaign, not only urging me to vote for Chuy but trying to extract a solemn promise that I will do so.
I told them "Look, I don't like Rahm but Chuy doesn't look like any great prize either. Give me a reason to vote for him." The guy on the line hesitated, and then asked, "What's your biggest worry about the city right now?" I said, "Crime," and he said "Chuy's promised to hire more policemen."
I was making supper and didn't have any more time to chat, so I ended the conversation there.
As a Judge of Election I will be working on April 7; I'll be curious to see how many people actually show up to vote.
Galewood "street poll" -- about 4 "CHUY" signs on a block with a lot of coppers, 0 Emanuel signs.
Don't trust most polls. Guy with a Rahm sticker came to door. I said "you are with Rahm? Go away." and then I shut the door.
Chuy dropped the ball during this whole process. No concrete plans and evasive answers.
We all hate Rahm. But a small vocal group of officers will demand we endorse Chuy no matter how bad he's going to lose and if FOP does not they will be called sellouts.
But there is no way we should endorse Rahm. Anyone who endorses Rahm is a sellout to the democratic machine.
There are three choices:
1. Endorse Chuy the loser.
2. Endorse Rahm the likely winner.
3. Or no endorsement.
The smart move would be to endorse the winner. But I hate the guy.
I say NO ENDORSEMENT!!!
Garcia has turned this election into a question of race.Both he and Jesse Jackson stated that they are striving for a black and brown coalition. Why did they say that? Don't they want a black and brown and white and Asian coalition? Apparently not.
Only Rahm can save the City.
Rahm's revenge against those who did not support him will be terrible. CPD it is much better to be on the winning side than the losers.
Rahm is a tyrant that must be stopped. This is our chance to get rid of him. Do you really think Burke and the heavies will let Garcia have full reign? Get rid of Rahm before he continues to climb and becomes president.
ow Long will we linger in this prison, our federal, state, county and city legislators/elected officials have created for us?? What else would you call our situation where the 1 per-centers and the 47 per-centers get 50% of our tax dollars while paying only 10% of what we pay in taxes. We are the prisoners and the wardens are the elected officials who keep the 1 per-centers and 47 per-centers out of prison in exchange for their campaign contributions (paid for by tax breaks disguised as job creation incentives)and their votes respectively. There needs to be a prison revolt where all prisoners are expected to contribute equally and a retroactive law where all compensation and benefits enhancements passed to benefit the wardens is passed on to all who work for a living, even the prisoners!!!! I'm ready for a jailbreak!!! Creative financing so we can take more taxpayer money and enrich our banking industry friends who will enrich our campaign fund AKA our personal piggy bank or golden parachute. This has to end and hopefully the outcome will be much different than the credit default swap scandal of our financial system where nobody has gone to jail and again the taxpayers footed the bill. How much more abuse can we take????

That's funny. Gutierrez is backing Rahm. Dummy.
How can u run a city when you don't even know the financial books status before even entering a race...its BS the stupid same questions given to Chuy which sets him up for failure....if he doesn't know the mess behind the mayor floor then how can these stupid interviews be answered.
Thats probably the 16% that haven't voted before because they've been dead at the cemetery for the last century and mysteriously they have decided to vote from the after life!!!

Rahm said he wants to REFORM our pensions. What does REFORM mean to a Democommunist.
Rahm knew the day of reckoning for our pensions was coming and he kept burning through money and made no plans to meet the city's obligations. Rahm will screw us, our families, our jobs if he has to Detroit-ize this city to make money for his pals.
Vote for Garcia.
It BS cry wolf only to have people throw in the towel early so they wont vote....Get everyone you know out to vote take comp time and give people rides to the poles if you have too don't let Chuy sink without a fight...."Chuy,Chuy,Chuy!!!" Vote!!!
That M/1 fat copper thats supporting Rahm on a advertising commercial is a real piece of s#""! Someone should ask him if he has ever done anything that he shouldn't of been doing on or off duty?

Just like little dick.
Get Rahm out before he gets more powerful. Chuy can be one term and is disorganized enough that he won't become powerful. Start the hunt for a viable candidate NOW to run in the next election.
If Chuy is such a friend of the police, why is he supporting the City Ordinance sponsored by Moreno & Brookins giving reparations to police torture victims?
Please get out and vote! Do your civic duty and obligation. My family and so many others have sacrifice for you and your family to enjoy our way of life here in this country, the least everyone can do is get of your behinds and vote. Stop leaving it up to everyone else. Get off your ass now!!!! Unless you're going to vote for Rahm, in that case stay home.
Can you smell the desperation?
I sure hope you can't.
Desperation with a 16 point lead rising from an 11 point lead last week. If I ever run for office I sure hope I have a 16 point lead.
There is not one poll that has Chuy anywhere close. He can't even find a poll that has him close.
Garcia is not a novice!!!! Be informed, he's held four different public offices! Don't fall for these sound bites, that's exactly what Rahms people want you to do. That black reverand that called Garcia a novice doesn't have a problem demanding that bosses in the CPD be black irregardless of lack experience, just to have black faces in the ranks, yet calls Garcia who is educated with loads of experience a novice. Garcia can't make budget committments because he doesn't know what the finances REALLY look like! Daley lied and now Rahm lies about the city's finances. It's like getting married to someone you think has their finances together,then realizing how f'd up their debt is after the wedding . Wake up people!
A vote for Rahm is a vote for McCarthy
Why listen to bullshit polls. First of all how do compare all voters to maybe 1000 that were polled?? What if they stood in front of rahm headquarters and polled rahm supporters only?? Wouldn't that show a higher percent for rahm? I've never been polled, nor has anybody in my family and quess what, none of us are voting for rahm. Stop listening to polls. Especially if you only talk to maybe 1000 out of let's say a million possible voters. just like comstat any numbers and percentages can fit the agenda!!!
Going to vote today, noway is rahm ahead, meeks is backing rahm do you think his congregation is that stupid to listen to meeks another 1%? Chuy is on rahms tail nope chuy is ahead watch all the dirt the "rahm crew" will dig up on chuy soon! Its totally ridiculous!
The rahm machine is paying off the media,but then again he controls all media, they are rahms puppets!

3/23/2015 01:00:00 AM
Yeah. It's taken Rahm longer than he thought to fuck us out of our pensions. He needs another term to accomplish that. Make no mistake the epic fuckery of our pensions is at the very top of Rahm's list of things to accomplish.
Anybody but Rahm
WHOOO!
The Rahm trolls are desperately leaving their little black pointy rodent droppings all over this "insignificant" blog...
Just curious...
Why have so many so called powers that be have been
targeting this blog to get it shut down?
Why have there been so many "pings" from various seats of municipal, state and national power and media outlets?
Why are so many so damned interest in what a few "wild, out of control, dumb, racist, obviously conservative" Chicago blue-suits say and think?
Aren't they as "insignificant" as the blog that's alleged to be their sounding board?
Or is is that this blog is hated and reviled because it is an uncontrolled, unsanctioned by the powers that be, source of truth, uncomfortably pointed query and information as to the state of this city as viewed and reported from ground level by people who walk the walk and have been there, done it, bought the shitty tee shirt and won the stupid-assed prizes that nobody in their right mind wants?
Yeah...
Nothing but a bunch of wild-assed, free-thinking cops who have the utter gall to think they can just simply do their jobs, get paid and not be beholden to the powers dictating the agenda.
"If you guys just play along, shut up, sit down and stop being so angry and agitating so much..."
This is all a tactic to suppress those on the fence, I call bullshit. VOTE this Scumbag out.

The smartest post on this whole thing. Amen. Pandering garbage from the machine to make you think Rahm will be the clear winner. Don't be stupid and let this garbage lead to to believe Rahm will win. He's grasping at straws. Chuy will win. Rahm clearly says he will stick it in our ear and take our pensions. With Chuy, he at least hasn't blatantly said it. Chuy has my vote no matter how inept he is. With a family to support, I cannot betray them for voting for someone who flat out said he will take our pensions and "stick it in our ear." I have dignity.
I just early-voted for Garcia.
My elderly mom asked me to take her, too, as soon as the snow melts. I told her no rush and she said, "What if something happens to me? I need to make sure I got my vote in for Garcia."
Get out and VOTE CHUY in.

Put down that crackpipe!
After driving through Chicago from the UofI Forum (the GOOD Food conference on Friday) all the way down Archer Avenue past Huck Finn's to Weber Bakery (to pick up a Pound Cake) before going all the way home (to a different county), I saw a LOT more CHUY signs than Rahm signs.
No one should be voting for Rahm and giving credence to arrogance and incompetence. You don't re-elect incompetence - you vote it out.
If Chuy doesn't work out, well vote him out in four years.
Chicago cannot afford bad leadership. OR, if you think it's a "good idea" - bet your pensions.
Vote for Rahm and be ready to settle for 10 cents on the dollar. I am sure FOP will be agreeable to whatever scraps he throws off the table.
rahm has done nothing for me in 4 years.
I'm giving chuy my vote.
the 900 people poled were all from rahms office on the 5th floor
Voting early For Chuy.
Recalling the whole Harold Washington Campaign rhetoric, it's all the same b.s., Harold turned out to be alright compared to Daley.
Is Rahm competent to lead Chicago out of a 10 year financial downfall? HA !
Rahm doesn't have an MBA or any financial background other than cheating investors by having inside knowledge when Freedie Mac was about to collapse, he cashed out with $16 million as chumps lost their life savings.

If your ignorant u will vote rahm if your intelligent you will vote chuy simple to do! Don't listen to the " rahm lies" or the "rahm tax" media spin nonsense vote chuy we need "change we can believe in"
Rahm and his friends support of the illegal Mexican immigrants and allowing them to become voters even without being citizens is going to be his political demise. Kind of funny.

I think this is great! Now the illegals are gonna take it away from the little man!
Chuy will be bad for the city. Great for the unions but just bad for the city. On that note, I cannot stand Rahm and I will vote Anybody But Rahm. For those that think Rahm is qualified just remember the new DePaul Fieldhouse which is not needed yet gonna cost millions. How about that new deal with Magic Johnson for $80 million dollars to clean the schools. Nice campaign contribution Rahm got outta that deal. Yet the schools still look dirty as shit.

Simply put, and right to the point. (I'll add it's also a vote to diminish your own pension, if you're the police or ANY city worker.)
Just voted at clearing library 63pl Narragansett, woman judge told me they had well over 100 already early voting, she said that's a lot, if your early voting any district your working in you can vote,at any polling place "just do it" or you have no right to complain if rahm gets it!

Pat Quinn had a lead too look what happened to him. Vote Chuy
Just finished early voting for Garrido and Chuy
Chuy's campaign people need to seize the opportunity that our latest snow event gave them and make a commercial showing the taxpayers of this city stuck in traffic on their way to work (or in front of their unplowed side streets) while he blows thru the red light cameras (for the children) in his motorcade. I'm no Chuy fan but I'm praying to see the Royal Rham give a concession interview after the election
Early voted today for Chuy, because I want that fucking pos Daley to lose his limo.
Just voted early in the lovely 009 district.
On the clock of course.
Voted for CHUY.
lots of Rahmulian forgetting about that retro RAHM stole from your family!
Or that he went to Springfield to beg not to pay into the pension.
And what does a poll do for you?
Netanyahu in Israel was way back in the polls and he won its on the internet check 4 your self.
And Don't forget President Disability Dean can't figure out how to poll members of the FOP lodge 7.
I am not buying the argument that Garcia has run a poor campaign; he was a late entry into the race and he outperformed the polls in the initial vote.
Garcia has not had the cash advantages available to Rahm Emanuel who wasted millions of dollars without receiving a majority in February. Even if Emanuel pulls out the run-off, he may be considered damaged goods in terms of future prospects. Nobody likes the man -- period. All of his supporters are mercenaries who have been bought and paid for.
18% Undecided can be enough to induce panic attacks and to tune up the Emanuel trolls who are posting on a blog that they once threatened to shut down.
Ordinarily, undecided poll respondents who do cast ballots go against incumbents.
Rahm may be able to call the realtor and clean out his basement after all.
I am voting for Chuy...I know he is a commie but Emmanuel is responsible for Barak and he is responsible for the decline of America. So it is a payback.
My question to all of u Rahmn supporter's why would u vote for guy that wants to hurt your pensions. Wake up if Chuy doesn't work out vote him out in for years. That's why I vote it for Chuy.
Rahm is a jerk, but at least we know what we get with him
Are you kidding me? Id rather start fresh and see what happens then let another Daley family crony get in!
All you liberal Rahm supporters. Go hug a tree. He will never get my vote.

Vote Jesus Garcia!
Go Chuy! Go Chuy! Go!
Even the Regular Democratic Organization got Bernie Epton to go up against the late Harold!
Can't fool old school voters in Chicago!
Seems like Chuy missed his opportunity. He needed to step up and lay out a road map of specifics of what he was going to do to fundamentally change this city for the BETTER.
He needed to lead.
Like Walker
Like Cotton
Like Cruz.
He's a talk and no walk prog.
I would have voted for him had he shown some assembelance of an even handed plan for the city.
Rham is a rat bastard crook, but he's at least good at it if you overlook his arrogance.
It looks like Chuy is soft.
I want my condo to maintain some value so when I get the hell out of here to a IN or WI like state, I'm not underwater.
Rham is a trained player.
We don't need a player on training wheels.
You coulda been a contender Chuy but you blew it.
The fix will be in just like it was for the last two presidential elections.
Remember what Comrade Stalin said, "It doesn't matter who gets the most votes. What is important is who counts them."
Who is counting them?
Anything democrats touch turns to shit. This city and state are fucking doomed because they will never vote for anything but democrats. And don't say Rauner is a fucking republican because he's about as republican as his best friend Rahm.

Crony capitalism hooks us up with thieving bankers and politicians fucking us with those possibly illegal "swaps" and when we get sick of it all and try to throw the yolk off of being led by the suck-holes who put us in such a spot, that same family of suck-holes jam their hand deeper down our pocket by double downgrading the city's debt rating, when it looks like Rahm is going to lose.
My 1st sense was to vote for Chuy. They say you should stick with your gut feeling.

Remember this dead eyed, cancerous rodent needs a reelection victory to continue his desire for national office. Chicago is just a whistle stop on his destruction tour of our United States. We will get through our current trouble nationally and we can return to a position of prominence once our spineless pouter-in-chief is sequestered in Hawaii (won't be heading there in the future).
We can cut this demented diseased atrophied prick off at the knees if we only deny him a second term. America does not deserve any further Chicago/Cook County style political malfeasance. Drop this turd in the trash bin of political has beens and then turn your sights on Hitlery. Make your vote count.
Me and my wife voted for RAHM...NOT! Not in a million years.

Stupid comment. Appears Chuy can't find any poll that will lie for him. I wonder why?
Seiser kicks ASS!
Why listen to bullshit polls. First of all how do compare all voters to maybe 1000 that were polled?? What if they stood in front of rahm headquarters and polled rahm supporters only?? Wouldn't that show a higher percent for rahm? I've never been polled, nor has anybody in my family and quess what, none of us are voting for rahm. Stop listening to polls. Especially if you only talk to maybe 1000 out of let's say a million possible voters. just like comstat any numbers and percentages can fit the agenda!!!
You sound like a moron. Yea polls stand in front of a candidates headquarters and take polls. There is a scientific was of taking polls, they can only poll so many people so they do a cross section of the voters of Chicago. Polling companies don't survive because they cant predict elections.
If you think polls mean nothing and aren't accurate think of the first mayoral election. Polls predicted Rahm would receive 44% of the vote.
What did he get 43%?

The same idiots that voted for mike shields & dean will support rahm! You must be the stupidest fuckholes on the planet!
3/23/2015 11:41:00 AM
And didn't Dean win?
Discontent on the part of voters gave us the BEST mayor this city ever had---Jane Byrne. Ask any of the old timers how much she appreciated the police. We know Rahm doesn't like us, so let's try CHUY
That M/1 fat copper thats supporting Rahm on a advertising commercial is a real piece of s#""! Someone should ask him if he has ever done anything that he shouldn't of been doing on or off duty?
3/23/2015 10:13:00 AM
Sgt. Milton Dixon was a P/O in the 10th District Neighborhood Relations Office when Chuy was the 22nd Ward Alderman. I guess Milt holds a grudge against Chuy. Maybe Chuy made him work too hard! Milt didn't mind getting that merit promotion to Sgt. though.
With one third of the population Hispanic, one third black and one third white, I sat Chuy has a real good chance of getting elected.
Well shit, I might as well just stay home. Nice try, I will be there with my 85 year old mother voting for Garcia. Every vote counts!
I pressed one when the auto-poll called and asked if I'd support Rahm.
My vote is already in for Chuy.
I've only seen 1 Rahm campaign sign in Jefferson Park. There are a lot more Chuy signs on people's front lawns.

Get Rahm out before he gets more powerful. Chuy can be one term and is disorganized enough that he won't become powerful. Start the hunt for a viable candidate NOW to run in the next election.
3/23/2015 10:18:00 AM
This seemed like the best post to agree with. WTF has rahm done for us, and I don't necessarily mean Us the Police. WTF has this guy done in 4 years for the blue collar working men & women in this city.Raised every tax you could think of.Look at your city bills people.If you think you got taxed the last 4 years, lube up and be ready.rahm is from the north shore,thru the white house with the most ignorant president we have ever had,carpet bagged his way to chicago with a dress in a basement, and stuck it to those that he know will pay,middle class city workers.
I'm going with the guy from St. Rita, who at least is from here.He may not have all the answers, but can at least be held in check for 4 years.Give rahm another 4, and the tentacles will go deeper than the daley crime family.Sorry for the rant.Just my 2 cents.
I wish they had elections every year. But we most certainly could not afford it.
In the 41st ward I just had a plow pass and salt the wet street. 3rd time today.
Also had trees trimmed last week that have been called in for years.
Potholes filled that have been hazards for years.
How can this be done now and we do not have this service all the time ??
A lot of effort but way too late !!

If Chuy is such a friend of the police, why is he supporting the City Ordinance sponsored by Moreno & Brookins giving reparations to police torture victims?
And Rahm doesn't support the same when it benefits him ?
Off Topic. ACLU study.
They are funny.
ACLU wants us to ISSUE A RECEIPT. Officers should provide civilians with a receipt at the end of
pedestrian stops, traffic stops, and consensual encounters.
This receipt should state the officer’s name, the time and
place of the encounter, and the reason for the encounter.
Receipts will ensure a record of the event and facilitate any
civilian complaints regarding the encounter.
Southside has Choo Choo St. Rita Grads back, let's get the 60% that sat out primary out to vote , with the illegals that have voted in past elections ? Mr. Jesus Garcia will be elected and will work with the city council , he will not bully them .
Rahm needs to go! The firefighters are a bunch of kiss asses. Vote for Rahm he gave us a fair contract. Rahm has done shit for the city. He wants to be a dictator like Daley. Vote Chuy in. You can vote him out the next election if he doesn't perform.
Fuck you, Rahm!
(OT) what's wrong with this story?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-milwaukee-police-shooting-20150323-story.html
White cop pats down crazy homeless guy, he grabs officers baton hits copper but police chief says white Milwaukee cop violated protocol by doing a pat down search copper ends up killing homeless crazy guy can any copper tell me what copper did wrong?
Don't forget Anthony Napolitano & John Garrido
I'm going to vote for Garcia on Election Day. I want to catch one of those Rahmster prescient captains trying to give me campaign flyers at the door of the school/polling place again.
This time I won't just chew him out I'll lock him up.
The news runs their little piece about Chuy not having a financial plan during the debates.
Rahm has been mayor for nearly 4 years and what of his great financial plan have we seen?? There have 4 bond downgrades.
NOTHING!!!. As for the pension payments: just refuse to make them.
Whoever gets in, there are going to budget cuts and tax increases.
Unfortunately in this election one is not realy voting for someone but against someone. Who do you dislike/distruct the lesser?
If you love Obama, vote for Rahm. The president of the United States came to town just to help this city mayor get re-elected. It's good to know things are going smoothly running the nation that he had time to turn the office of President into campaign worker for the likes of Rahm Emmanuel.
Also, if you like Richard Daley and wish he were still mayor, Rahm is your guy. Remember that Rahm got his start in Chicago politics (after studying ballet), by raising millions for Richard M. Daley and his machine's war chest in 1991.
The more I hear chuy talk the more I see toddler Stroger and Luis Gutierrez... No thanks.
You are a moron who doesn't pay attention.
Luis Guttierez and Rahm Emmanuel are joined together for this election. So if you despise Guttierez so much, why are you voting for his guy Rahm? Read a damn paper.
Stroger's son was brought in by and with the support of, Daley's machine while John Stroger's corpse had given Forrest Claypool a clear shot at the primary run for C.C Board Pres.
Claypool was told to stand down by RAHM, who promised him a spot via Axelrod in the Obama admin.
Claypool got the shaft. Rahm had bigger plans.
Daley's bills and promises have yet to be paid.
Chuy can't win, even if he gets more votes. This is Chicago. Big financiers are waiting to get the interest due on all those junk bonds they keep underwriting for this city. Plus there's all those land deals that didn't work out so well when Obama blew the olympic bid...
Michael Scott "killed HIMSELF! GOT THAT?!!!"
rahm describes pensions as a CRISIS never forget his remarks with wh NEVER LRT A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE
city workers are screwed if he wins
I'm Voting for Chuy! I told the Percent Captain I'm Voting for Rham. So maybe these polls don't mean shit
Rahm lost me when Challenger" Bark" constituted a park...I never met my grandfather, but if he were to become a zombie, that's where I'd find him. Suck off the lower middle class? Fuck you, Rahm. Just trying to stay in the neighborhood I've lived my whole life in. Apparently $40k a year isn't cutting it.
Not a cop, but not the guy who usually says not a cop.
Has anybody checked the Vegas odds? If I were to gamble I'd take my odds with Chuy! Call Vegas!
DIRECTLY FROM RAHM'S WEBSITE, READ BELOW: If you vote for him, well, you probably voted Yes for our generous contract too.
Second Chance Program
Recognizing that returning citizens often need help to prevent a return to crime after leaving the incarceration system, Rahm expanded job training to 2,200 former prisoners.
He quadrupled the CTA’s “Second Chance” program, providing transit jobs to 265 people with non-violent criminal records. Rahm supported a successful bill in Springfield to automatically expunge juvenile records for young people who have been arrested but never charged with a crime.
And Rahm has called upon state legislators to follow Chicago’s lead and reform sentencing laws for low-level drug offenses, keeping non-violent offenders from a lifetime in the criminal justice system, saving taxpayer dollars, and allowing police to focus on more serious crimes.
Lastly, Rahm passed an ordinance that will ensure that more returning citizens receive a fair shot at jobs by prohibiting all businesses in Chicago from asking job applicants about their criminal backgrounds until they’ve determined that a candidate is qualified.
Just voted today for Anthony Napolitano and Chuy at Rdden Library on Northwest Highway. People lined up on this shitty day. Talked to a lot Of people, all voting for Napolitano. Nobody was taking OConnors handouts. Get out the vote, this is our opportunity to get rid of that useless Oconnor and her buddy Rahm. Heard their was around 450 early voters today at Rodden. People are very mad and want change!!!
I'll be early voting for rahm tomorrow. Yeah, I'm banking on his casino for pension plan. The more I hear chuy talk the more I see toddler Stroger and Luis Gutierrez... No thanks.
3/23/2015 02:26:00 AM
That's funny. Gutierrez is backing Rahm. Dummy.
If you believe Rahm would put proceeds from a casino towards our pension then Rahm also has a bridge and some swampland in FLA. to sell you.
Sucker!
Look up at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th posts. You aare police officers. Do a little detecting. All the same guy from Rahm's camp. He IS worried, even with both papers in his camp.
Woops, forgot #6 too.
The polls are bullshit just like Northwestern's innocence project!
I'm going to VOTE today it's Early Voting!
FOR MAYOR - Go Chuy!
FOR 11TH WARD ALDERMAN - Go Kozlar!
MY PALM CARD IN THE 11TH WARD!
He close all our schools! where are we gonna get 3 free meals a day now?
Polls can be wrong: Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, majority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives was told by his pollsters he was up by 20-30 percent. But he ended up losing by 11 percent. Because voter turnout INCREASED by 50 percent. This was huge upset in June of 2014. Here is the link:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/11/eric-cantor-polling_n_5486099.html
We heard this same story when Jane Byrne defeated the machine.
This strategy by the mayor's campaign is to discourage turnout.
For the brain dead
Bobbie black panther Rush
Louis gguterriz are backing rahmmie
Look at the future
He has raised every utility bill tax , next year it will be real estate tax . You can take that as a fact , he still wants to reduce pension benefits but pays deputy chief pay to special commanders , captains pay for special I specters and district xo/captain wtf do they do ?

Here's a good comment I talked to a guy friend on rahms detail (no not going to out him), he said he "can't say anything about rahm, but he's only there for the money" true D-3 pay pensionable for a patrolman is great, and the sweet overtime at sergeant rate! Not bad!
Wife and I just voted. 2 votes for Rahm.
Some of the coppers that are voting for RAHM can't even keep their own finances in their home in order that's why they depend on VRI special etc... Keep working because when ur not home I get to bone ur wife, girlfriend, mother, daughter cause I do know how to take care of my finances.
Looks like all the rahm supporters can sit this one out .
706 votes at 41 ward, Rodden Library Tuesday, with a additional 75-100 leaving without voting. Not good for Rahm or Mary Oconnor. Usually voting decreases in runoff, just the opposite. Over 1100 votes in two bad weather days, unbelievable!! These numbers are never good for incumbents.
City finances continue their free fall, have to wonder if the mayor can keep his finger in the dike until the election. Because those ultra risky credit swaps have cost the city millions, thanks to the mayor's friend David Vitale. The mayor later appointed him President of CPS where more risky credit swaps have sent CPS finances into the abyss. CPS bonds were downgraded a week ago. There was a crisis in the bond market yesterday (Monday) when CPS bonds were put up for sale (to cover losses) but no one wanted to buy them. That was yesterday. Please post if anyone has updates.
This crisis is caused by high risk investing, by the mayor and his banker friends. But they will blame it on the pensions.

Great information. You heard 450 voters other guy says 250.
All voting for Napolitano? thats great I've never seen an election won by 100% of the vote. Even Putin can't pull that off in the Soviet Union.
Don't think I'll have to vote, save me a trip if he lready had ALL the votes, he sure doesn't need mine.
Yeah, Kozlar & his Section 8 coverts???????.
Obama did not know Rahm was going to mess up like he did and you could tell from his body language when he came to Chicago to endorse Rahm that he was disgusted with his actions.
Our mayor has a long history of spending big money on political consultants/P.R. strategists and pollsters. One service these consultants provide is "paid influencers". Usually called trolls, but they are paid by P.R> agencies to sit at their computers for hours, create a number of profiles and post comments everywhere to benefit the client. Another strategy is to get blogs such as this one taken down altogether.
