Get ready folks! We're about to see an influx of new fonts (people) posting in the chicago forum LOL

I knew the deal once I went to vote after I got off work and saw how empty the place was and I'm not shocked at CMB pulling only 8%. Seems it should be lower.

Shocked! Shocked I tell you! And the rubber stamp city council continues. I'm sure the alderman are all at home now practicing saying "Yes King Rahm" instead of "Yes King Daley".

I predicted he'd win the day he stepped down as Obama's aide. Oh, the names I was called. "You are such an idiot, nobody would ever vote for him! He wouldn't even be fool enough to run!"

He who laughs last....

The voter turnout was only like 40% supposedly. If you didn't want him, no one to blame but you know who.

I'm going to wait and see what kind of job he does before I get myself in a tizzy one way or the other about it.
