After Rahm, Chicago may revert to the Daley Dynasty

American Thinker: Chicagoans already have been able to talk about their “Mayor Daley” for 42 years, considering the 10 two-year terms served by Richard J. Daley, and the 11 terms served by his son, Richard M. (“Richie”) Daley. But now, a new “Mayor Daley” may emerge from political scramble following the announcement that Rahm Emanuel will not run for re-election. Bill Ruthhart reports for the Chicago Tribune:

Former U.S. Commerce Secretary Bill Daley will announce Monday that he’s going to run for a job once held by his brother and father — mayor of Chicago.

Daley would mark the first big-name candidate to officially jump in the race since Mayor Rahm Emanuel made the stunning announcement earlier this month that he would not seek a third term. Daley, whose nascent campaign confirmed Friday he would run, succeeded Emanuel as then-President Barack Obama’s White House chief of staff after Emanuel left the job to run for mayor in 2010. He also worked as commerce secretary for more than three years under former President Bill Clinton.

  2. Over five hundred extras were used for the next-to-last scene, the blockade of the building at Daley Center, including two hundred National Guardsmen, one state and city police officers, with fifteen horses for the mounted police (and three Sherman tanks, three helicopters, and three fire engines).

    Served? SERVED?

    I guess “served” means “theft,” “corruption,” “murder,” “mayhem,” and “cronyism?”

    Chicago is a cesspool, in part, due to the “service” of the Daleys.

  4. Chicongo is going to face a brutal fiscal wake up call some day. Might as well happen on a democrat’s watch, otherwise the media will blame 80 years of corruption on a republican who’s only been in office a few months.
