"they are looking at the statute and taking it at face value. they say it requires you to be a resident for a year. he didn't. so they say he doesn't qualify."
christopher keleher. an "expert" on appellate litgation.
aside form being one of the most self-eveident statments i've seen in quite a while it's also true...of course they're "taking it at face value."...strict interpreters of the law...they're judges...and democrats...the question is...Whose judges? there are many rooms in the mansion of chicago politics and some are better lit than others...if rahm emanuel was truly a resident he'd know this and act accordingly...all that money out manouvered by a technicality...it can still be overcome...(the "birthers" say obamaland cannot be president...but they are fools and should be locked away in the idiot bin with all the others that think empire gives a rat's ass about what they think...obamaland is president until at least january 2013 and their bleating will not stop that...not any more than mere legality could undo the stolen election of 2000...it's a matter of relative power...who is on your side...rahm seems to have overlooked the judiciary)... unless rahm makes some strategic payoffs, and qickly, he won't be on the ballot and all his bleating won't change that either...the everleigh sisters, johnny "da pow" powers, hinky dink, bathhouse john, and the ever loathesome charles tyson yerkes are giggling in first ward heaven...their chicago is eternal...how else could daley have survived as mayor for so long?

i see that someone better attuned to the realities of chicago politics has stepped up in rahm emanuel's campaign staff and seen to it that the greasy bags of hundred dollar bills that had been counted out and set up on the bar at the workingmen's exchange found their way into the proper hands...rahm's people got to the illinois supreme court first insuring that they were firmly in the right camp and rahm's name was ordered immediately returned to the ballot...that's the advantage of deep pockets...you can out-buy your oppenents when it comes to air-time, name recognition, or judiciary.....i don't suppose supreme court justices come cheap....if they did ed burke would be king of chicago by now...as it stands he can only stand by and watch as the finest piece of political manouvering since hanging chads comes undone for want of a few million bucks...wandering the loop aimlessly accosting the homeless and being bounced from seedy bars for asking questions no-one wants to answer...politics is a hard dollar...donors are fickle and demanding and now and then the voters will flog you like a mule for no good reason at all outside the fact that you prove you're cheapjack scum every day of your " public service"...no-one understands your problems and when you try to explain yourself it all comes out as gibberish sprinkled with pig-latin...the fat's in the fire in chicago and the old man is spinning in his grave.
