I Hope Rahm Is Astute Enough To Not Engage In Negative Ads In His Campaign....

Chuy has gotten some great endorsements over the last few days. You can almost feel it in the air in Chicago that Chuy is building momentum and can unseat Mayor 1%.

Rahm has the money and if he feels he's losing it - he'll get desperate and might engage in negative TV ads in his campaign.

I'm thinking he's smart enough to know that if he engages in negative campaigning that the People of Chicago will react adversely to it and turn on him even more.

This is getting interesting. I'm sensing that Rahm is going to lose.

I was a bit nervous that Willie Wilson was going to be paid off by rahm and endorse him. I'm glad that didn't happen.

It's gonna be a long month.

This election is winnable for him if there is a big voter turnout. He needs to enlist the help of those who endorsed him to help him in the quest to GOTV. He needs to let the each Person know that their one vote will make a difference and that they can help impart change in Chicago. This is doable.

was reading today about an ad that pasted together a bunch of chuy's comment, and said he was making $1.9b in promises.

Saw one last night and this morning. He's throwing everything at Chuy. And I'm really tired of looking at his mug, crying the blues. It appears that Chuy was a supporter of Chicago's first black Mayor, Harold Washington. Now, there is Willie Wilson as well as Jesse Jackson putting their support behind Chuy for what it's worth.
