| Poll question: Who's your pick for the next Mayor of Chicago? |
|
Just for the hell of it. Let's see if more than a few people vote. I'm including the names I've seen mentioned. Add one if your favorite isn't listed.

| 2. I saw his name in one of the articles. |
|
I'm not in Chicago anymore and he's one of the few Aldermen I can name.

Rahm would just be another Daley...why would ANY DU'er want THAT?

| 5. In this case, I meant another Richie |
|
And Rahm helped inflict Richie on Chicago, so that pretty much tells where he'd take things as mayor.

| 6. Chicagoans have been on a reformist streak lately. |
|
Being Obama's COS helps but people might see him as the machine candidate. That doesn't help right now.

| 7. Good. Chicago doesn't need Rahm and Rahm DOES need to be humbled. |

| 11. guttierez is. he was in the city counsel, and worked the camaign. |
|
iirc, he was elected after the court case to redraw the map.
he would be great, he would have a wide draw, he is very well known, he really could do it. that would be a great matchup- chewy vs rahmzilla.

| 8. cheryl jackson is owed, although i think he new job is payment |
|
but she was a fine stalking horse who got the senate nod for alexi. maybe there is some payback coming her way, or maybe she would do that favor a second time.
david hoffman is someone whose name comes up often, and who would at least be honest. reformers, imho, often are not effective governors, tho.
john fritchy is also a great guy.

| 9. Tom Dart has championed many humanitarian causes! |
|
Dart busted dog fighting rings, declined to enforce home foreclosures, nailed child abusers, and purged the Cook County Sheriff's office of bad officers.
