Rahm must be sitting back enjoying this show.
Other than the residency thing....they had no chance.

When you see Bill Dailey paid off errr.....given the White House staff job.....you knew Rahm was getting the backing of the 800lb gorrilla.

Braun is wacky but if she gets the dem nomination she will be the next mayor which would be hillarious.

Moseying with Carol Mosely. Calls little known non-contending Mayoral candidate a crackhead!

“Patricia, the reason you didn’t know where I was for the last 20 years is because you were strung out on crack,” Braun, staring at Watkins, said at Trinity United Church of Christ on the South Side. “Now, you have admitted to that.”

SHHH! Look what crack smoking did for Mayor Berry in D.C ! He got re-elected!

By the way, why was Rahm not at the above mentioned Mayoral forum on the southside yesterday?

Is he afraid of black people? Does he dislike black people?

All of the major candidates were at the forum, but Rahm.

Default Carol Moseley Braun

Love the comment about doing crack. Just shows she thinks she can say and do anything.

Before the comments she had 21% of the vote. My guess is that now she has 10-15%.

This will come down to Chico and Rahm. It is now even possible with recent sympathy over trying to throw him off the ballot that Rahm could get 50% and avoid a run-off.

I think there will still be a run-off, but we will see.

She lost the crackhead vote, that's for sure.

Why do you think Rahm was not at this Mayoral forum? Why is this man reluctant to appear in public with the other candidates in front of the pubic?

Oh yeah, anyone that votes for Rahm because of Jeff Tweedy is a stooge.
