AND VOTE!

claiming to dedicate historic Pullman neighborhood national monument. Of course Rahm was hanging all over him and grinning. Obama hasn't been back since. Thank goodness.

But anyway, this morning new polls came out saying that Rahm is winning in the polls.

Have the black vote unchanged for Emanuel, at 53%. Black support for Garcia is slightly down from 31% to 28%.

For those of you who don't live in Chicago (which I can guess is most everyone), you should understand the demographics of this city: it's 1/3 white, 1/3 black, 1/3 hispanic. If Garcia is getting only 28% of the African American vote right now, and 52% of the Latino vote (36% of Latinos are supporting Emanuel), it doesn't seem likely he can win.

Of course, a week is a long time in politics. But right now the polls are at 58% to 30% (other polls are showing a somewhat similar spread). That's a hell of a big gap to overcome.

I'm hoping early voting will help Chuy out. Especially with the union helping. But then, Rahm knows some of the tricks of the trade too, thanks to Obama.
