Wow, you obviously don't know too much about Chicago. Jesus Christ could run as a Republican candidate for mayor in Chicago and he'd lose.
Dude Bernie Epton almost beat Harold Washington. In the right scenario a Republican can win. Besides in the mayoral election one does not have to list their party any longer.
So the last time in 71 years a Republican candidate almost won the mayoral candidates, a black candidate ran as Democrat. Do you remember all the white, union, bleeding blue Democrats from Mount Greenwood/Bridgeport that absolutely refused to vote for Washington due to his race? I sure do. And I was a kid.

So? My statement was merely to point out it is possible.

Coming from someone living in Houston, I have to laugh. You haven't been paying attention to Illinois politics in the past year or so. People don't like Rahm. There is major political upheaval going on in Illinois right now, especially with all the corruption charges surrounding Blagojevich, Stroger, Rezko, and on and on. People here are finally starting to get fed up with the BS the democrats have been feeding us and want change. Quinn is not expected to win the governor's seat, he'll likely lose to *gasp* republican Bill Brady. Mark Kirk also has a really good shot at the senate seat. Big time national Republican players are paying attention to Illinois now as a toss-up state and are visiting IL.... never would have happened even just a year ago. Things are changing here, and hopefully for the better.
Rahm won't win, I guarantee it. He'll have name recognition, but that won't be a benefit to him.
No, not Chicago. Hawaii or somewhere else. He is not a real Chicagoan. Carpetbagger. Rahm is not even from Chicago-he was raised in a rich suburb.
We could only be so lucky to ship him off to Hawaii. Just think, in two years Obammy will be coming back here too.
Let's hope the IL GOP puts up a strong candidate this time, not another Alan Keyes who didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.
